My initial firefox screen is google search, I have put my own image there. Everything has been fine and then for no apparent reason whenever I open firefox this initial screen has a very thick transparent white bar at that top of the image with my google e-mail address in it. The bar was always there but was not much thicker than needed for the one line of e-mail address, now it is very thick and covers the top portion of my image. What happened and how do I restore this screen to what it was?

Hi rogerbnelson,

Are you saying that you customized your Google page? This is tied to your Google account. If the page looks different, then Google might have changed something. That is not something that Firefox controls. You might want to look into the Google documentation.

You could also try typing about:home into the address bar. It is a very minimal search page that might be what you are looking for.

Hopefully this helps!
