I found that too, but since I set my homepage to yahoo,
and blocked it from changing to about:blank with spy
sweeper, it says www.yahoo.ca. meaning that only shows
the homepage, and the likely assumption is that there is
something in the computer that rewrites that key to
about:blank instead of the current homepage. This is
driving me NUTS
