A new tab sends me to Facebook
Yesterday all my settings for Firefox changed without authorization and while I think I have most of it back to the way it was, I am still having problems with one feature. When I open a new tab, I am automatically sent to Facebook instead of a blank page or Google or another search engine. I do not want to be sent to Facebook but I can't figure out how to change that setting.

Hi Traina1984,
By default Firefox opens a blank tab when you hit the tab button. The fact that is shows an actual page leads me to believe that you have an add-on or something else causing your issue. I'd try starting Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide and the Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems article as well.
Hopefully this helps!
