When I open Firefox I have it set to go to the google homepage. That's OK. However, if I then open another tab it opens with AVG Secure Search. Why is this? I don't seem to be able to get additional tabs to open with google. Is there a way of doing this?

Normally Firefox opens a new tab with a blank page ( about:blank ). I would guess that the AVG safe search addon has changed it in your case.
Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

Think of every single feature of how tabs behave and then some - you still won't have thought of every feature of Tab Mix Plus!

And yes, you can select what you get when you open a new tab.

Problem solved. I found 2 add-ons, AVG safe search and AVG security toolbar. This got rid of the problem. I then installed https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/ which completed the answer for me.
I was then able to re-install safe search without the problem coming back. If I try to re-install security toolbar it creates the problem again so I have left it disabled. Will this cause me any problems?
Thanks to everyone for helping me on this.
