You can hover the donation message to get a close X in the top right corner of that message.

Hi aem2169, the background is associated with the donation message below the search box. To remove the entire donation pitch including the background, hover your mouse over the message until the close button ("x" on a circle) appears and click that. See the attached screenshot for reference.

Success?

How are you adding your own picture to the page?

I see cor-el beat me to it again. ;-)

I use this code in a userContent.css file for block the background image from being changed. http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserContent.css

@-moz-document url(about:home){ body.background-4871 { background:none !important; }}

And if you have Stylish installed, you can see if this UseStyle works to block those "hearts". https://userstyles.org/styles/104618/about-home-hide-snippets

I wanted to thank you for your quick responses to my question. I don't know how I missed something so simple. Seems silly but it was driving me crazy. Thank you for your time and your help.
