Not related to your question, but...

You need to update some plug-ins:

• Plug-in check: https://www-trunk.stage.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
• Next Generation Java Plug-in for Mozilla browsers: Installing or Updating Java in Firefox

Here is the answer. 1. open firefox, select tools, options, manage add ons 2. find the add on name "data mngr" and select disable 3. now install add on "safe browser" 4. go back into the manage add ons 5. select the add on "new tab url" make sure it is enabled 6. select options 7. lets you decide what the url to be.

Safe Browser really helped me out with his searchqu solution. It would be nice if someone could created an app to do this. Thank you!

Hi! @pb5982, my name is John and i'm a member of the Searchqu support team, and i'm here to help :) When the software was installed onto your pc it offered two basic installs, typical installation, which lists the add-on features such as searchqu Toolbar, and Custom installation, which allows you to select the add-ons that you wish to install. There's no need to worry if you did the typical install - this isn't a virus, nor malware, and there's no need to Perform a virus scan against it. if you still have troubles with opening new tab without searchqu default search please check: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/newtaburl/

we are here to assist with any further question
