tab in ie7

[Guest]

I have a question about tabs. My first tab will take me to my homepage.
The second tab automatically takes me to a page called FIRESEACH search
engine.
How can I get the second tab to stop directing to this FIRESEARCH.

You might direct this question to one dealing with IE.

Go to the Internet Options in IE Tools and set the homepage temporarily to
"blank". Click okay, exit IE and restart IE. There should be only one tab
showing when IE opens and it should be a blank page. If the Firesearch page
still shows up you should use a spyware/malware scanning program to remove
it.

If the Firesearch tab does not show up when your homepage is set to blank
then the page you were using as homepage is also loading the Firesearch web
page. Short of not using that web site as your homepage, you can block the
unwanted search page from loading... eg. by putting the Firesearch URL into
the Restricted sites category in IE7 security settings or in your
anti-virus, firewall software, etc. etc. whatever you have available that
can block web pages.

I'm having a terrible time with IE7, I don't know what I'm doing wrong! I've
recently purchased a new laptop with Windows XP, and downloaded the new IE7,
and I can't get the tabs.. there are none! I was incredibly attached to the
tabs! Is there anyone out there who can help me???

Are they enabled?
Tools | Internet Options | Settings in the Tabs section

Thank you for reading and responding! I've gone everywhere I know to enable
them. Have not found them as of yet.
Can you point me in the right direction of where to look???
Thanks again

I thought I did.
Click Tools (the gear wheel on the Command Bar).
Click Internet Options.
The Tasbs section is near the bottom of the first page. Click Settings
there and make sure the box is checked to enable tabs.

They are enabled yet i have no tabbies, makes me sad! I've redownloaded
ie quite a few times, and nothing... anyother suggestions?
