I am with Firefox.
When I open an empty new tab (Ctrl+T), this is the page it sends me to:
search.conduit.com/?ctid=CT3314958&octid=EB_ORIGINAL_CTID&SearchSource=69&CUI=&SSPV=&Lay=1&UM=4&UP=SP0C089D01-B768-4A26-A5FE-AC13A0403584It is absolutely annoying because it redirects my pointer from the browser's URL area to the search page's text entry.
How in hell do I change that?

None.
My suggestion is uninstall any toolbars, check extensions/plugins, scan for spyware/adware.

Definitely a malicious extension. Firefox > Add-Ons > Extensions. You'll probably see some stuff you never installed like "Conduit Search" and "YouTube Ad Blocker" and such. Delete everything you don't remember installing, or better yet, delete everything and reinstall the extensions you trust. Then install NoScript, AdBlock Plus, and Ghostery.
Also check your computer's list of installed programs (search the start menu for "Add or Remove Programs"). If you don't recognize them, do a quick
Conduit Google search to see if it's malicious/adware.
Like Farty said, you should scan your computer. Use Malwarebytes or Avast. Install Microsoft Security Essentials if you don't have it already (it's built in for Windows 8). If you have Norton, uninstall that shit.

go in the about:config and find browser.newtab.url and reset it. I have it as "about:newtab"

Ah, good ol' Conduit..
Look for ways to remove conduit. They are bloody annoying.

The bastards! Half the time I cannot even select "Reset" as an option to the value. If I do have the option, it'll simply reset the value to the conduit URL.
If I choose "Modify" and change it to anything, it'll be reset to conduit URL immediately as well.

I am using it.
Time to run Malwarebyte! It had a been a while, I must say.

MBAM removed it for me, but I use Chrome, so I'm not sure if FF does something different.

Rebooting pc and doing that did it, after using MalwareByte. Yihaw!
Thanks guys.

I see search conduit on a weekly basis. I don't know how people install it...
