Top Sites on Home Page
One of my top site selections is Amazon, which appeared when I deleted one that I didn't want. In the tile, there is a big blue question mark. When selecting Amazon, I am not taken to their website, but rather given a question "What search terms", and below that, a question which search engine to use. I want just a plain old selection of Amazon, not all this extra junk. How do I get rid of it? Or is it I cannot get Amazon without it?

Hi, that's a search shortcut. If you hover your mouse over it to reveal the menu button, then click that button, is there an option to Unpin or Dismiss that tile?
If you don't want to use search shortcuts in your Top Sites, you also can disable them a different way:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.
(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste improve and pause while the list is filtered
These preferences all have very long names, but if you focus on the last part, you'll find this next one:
(3) Double-click the browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.topSiteSearchShortcuts preference to switch the value from true to false
