No matter what I do Firefox refuses to open Google in new tabs, I have tried add ons and options settings. Google is there, but it still opens a blank tab.

Hi   !

I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly - I'm thinking : You want each new tab to open with your homepage (which is Google), but get a blank page instead. If that's the case, this just could be what's described in this bug report ( which is being worked on) :

You can check for recently installed suspicious or unknown extensions.

Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.

Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. All these programs have free versions.

Make sure you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

You can also do a check for a rootkit infection with TDSSKiller.
