Hey,
Take a look at this: Account Safety And D2jsp Information > Prevent & Get Rid Of Computer Infections
Also check your add-ons to see any recently installed outstanding one you dont know.

To to Firefox > Options > Addons and remove any weird addons you don't use, don't remember installing, seem malicious, etc. Then, go to Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features and look for any installed programs with 'addon' or 'toolbar', or the name of that new page in it, and install them. Then restart Firefox.

If that all doesn't work, you can manually change it.

In the browser type
Code
about:config

Tell Firefox you will be careful, and in the search bar enter
Code
browser.newtab.url


After you find that entry, right click it and choose reset.

That's inside the settings somewhere. I'm unsure about Firefox, but it is in Chrome.
