How do you set a Google theme as your homepage?

When I open a new TAB is comes up with Yahoo, but I want Google!?

  • Alright well I downloaded a program recently which installed the Yahoo toolbar etc and made Yahoo my Homepage. I changed my homepage back to Google, but, whenever I open a new tab, it still goes to Yahoo. I'm using FIREFOX, not Internet Explorer. I've already gone to Options > General > set google as my homepage. People keep telling me to do this. When I start up Firefox, it WILL go to google, but when I open a new TAB it goes to yahoo http://search.yahoo.com/?fr=freeze&type=W3i_NA,132,3_6,Tab%20Search,20101149,17029,0,16,0 I've gone to Programs/Features and tried to uninstall the toolbar, but their's no option too... I've asked this question several times now but no none has given me a solution that works.. Please read the full question. I've already set my home page as Google via Tools > Options > setting homepage. This doesn't change the fact that when I open a tab, yahoo pops up. Please help...

  • Answer:

    The best way to overcome this is to uninstall Mozilla Firefox (with yahoo toolbar) which is already installed in your system. then again install Firefox from www.mozilla.com/firefox/ and set the home page to google and I will also recommend to install google toolbar for firefox if you need all the features of google. Hope this helps

does it open yahoo even when you right click on a hyperlink and select the option-'open in a new tab' ? Coz frankly yeah i haven seen a problem lik this but why open unnecessary tabs before you have a use of them? Just select a link right click and open it in new tab :)
