can't get rid of yandex as browser page
when I open a new tab I keep getting Yandex appearing as my browser page, I have gone into tools, option, advance, general, typed in Mozilla firefox, but it still keeps coming up and in Russian. I managed to delete so far the tool bar which it was insisting I have, but cannot get rid of it as browser

I wonder whether you installed some kind of special edition of Firefox because normally you would see 9 thumbnails on the new tab page.
If this is your first day with Firefox, you could try completely uninstalling it (including removing your personal settings) and then reinstalling from the Mozilla site:

To manually change your new tab page, you can use Firefox's about:config preferences editor.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste newtab and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the browser.newtab.url preference and enter the desired value:
(i) Page thumbnails (default)
browser.newtab.url = about:newtab
(ii) Blank tab
browser.newtab.url = about:blank
(iii) Built-in Firefox home page
browser.newtab.url = about:home
(iv) Any other page
browser.newtab.url = full URL to the page
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?
