I googled "how to change my home page in Firefox" and I got a site called eHow which told me how, but now when I access the web, Yahoo and eHow come up

Every time I access the internet by clicking on the Firefox icon, not only does the home page (yahoo) I selected appear, but in the tab bar "eHow" and "options" tabs show up. How can I stop those two tabs from automatically appearing?

Sounds like to set those 2 pages (eHow and Options) as your homepages in Firefox, in addition to Yahoo!. Firefox allows the user to have multiple homepages. If you 'click' Use Current Page in the General tab in Options, you'll end up with whatever tabs that were open at the time you used that button as your homepages.

To fix it, make sure only that Yahoo! page is open when you click Use Current Page.
