How can I remove (or at LEAST move) the social 'share' buttons that are on the left side of the screen?

Hi :) When I'm reading something on a webpage, text is constantly being covered up by those social media "share" buttons on the left side of the screen. How can I remove this, please? I just downloaded Firefox, so I'm not totally familiar with it, but I've tried everything I can think of, and it's driving me crazy. Thanks a BILLION! :)

Hi lonnie, About your problem , can you please attach/or send us a screenshot? Because theres no such thing like that in Firefox browser :-) Maybe it's from the website you are visiting :-)

Hi. Thank you so much for your reply! I don't think I can take screenshots (or maybe I just don't know how. I'm using Android on an HTC Flyer tablet). But I think you must be correct, and it probably is just the website. I just assumed it was the new browser, because those annoying buttons were never there before when I'd read articles on that website (vigilantcitizen.com). I thought maybe trying it with desktop view would work better than mobile view, but it didn't. I suppose the website recently added those "helpful" buttons, and it was just a coincidence that I first saw it with the new browser, making me think the problem WAS the browser. I noticed this same issue on other websites before, when I was using other mobile browsers (like huffpost, for instance). Thanks for the assistance :) Although this apparently isn't a browser-specific problem, if you happen to know any other way to eliminate this issue, (if possible) please let me know. Thanks!!
