How do I get rid of the graphics on top of the URL bar (directly on top of the URL) so I can't see the URL (or be able to copy and paste it)

There is a stream of graphics that cover the URL address. I have been waiting for it to be resolved but it hasn't. It looks like shortcuts but, I don't want them and can't find a way to make them go away. None of the icons do anything, it just gives me the option of subscribing to the site.

I have tried to upload an image twice but it won't load.

That issue is caused by the RSS Icon extension that isn't working properly in current releases and show a bunch of icons instead of the 'subscribe to feed' icon.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Thank you! I attached an image in case it is helpful but, I followed your instructions, reverted back to the default theme and found I had "Brief" RSS and "RSS Icon". I disabled RSS Icon and it has resolved the problem and "Brief" seems to be working fine.

I really appreciate your help!
