i guess i updated to latest version of Firefox and now i have a bunch of crap at the top of the screen that i want to get rid of. can't find any way to do it. i want my old opening window.
Don't want "newspapers," "real estate," etc. at top of window. Unnecessary stuff. with previous version of Firefox it wasn't there. don't want it. no noticeable way to get rid of it.

Set your own choice of a homepage.

Is that part of the web page or is that positioned on a toolbar?
- Firefox > Options
- View > Toolbars
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

I have my choice of homepage (ABC15.com) but this stuff is all from Firefox and appears above the ABC logo and underneath the address bar, and it moved the "home" icon to a totally different, and inconvenient location.
right click on tabs bar and uncheck bookmarks toolbar.
There's no tabs bar so no bookmarks toolbar.
Can you attach a screenshot?
Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).
You can also right-click items on the Navigation Toolbar to get the toolbar context menu.
