how to remove "restore old status box"
Whenever I open Firefox I get a box below the Google entry bar that asks "Restore old status" or words to that effect. There is no way to tell the box (icon) to go away, I don't want to restore a previous string/status. If I leave the box alone I can continue without problems, but I don't want the box there. I was able to get rid of the box by right clicking on it and left clicking "stop", but that doesn't seem to work anymore. I find this extremely annoying.

You can make Firefox Firefox 5.0 look like Firefox 3.6.18, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 5.0, or 4.0.1, look like 3.6).
Thank you for an answer, but the answer doesn't solve my problem. I don't want to make Firefox 5.* look like version 3.*, I just want to do away with the blasted icon without restoring the prior session.
Firefox 4 and later versions use a new build-in home page named about:home with a Google search bar on it.
That about:home page only shows some snippets and has a button to restore the previous session if applicable.
If you want a home page without the Restore Previous Session then set another page as the home page like www.google.com or www.google.com/firefox used in Firefox 3 versions.
thank you cor-el. that was the solution to the problem; it worked a treat.
