Firefox thinks they own me, creating a special page highlighting my searches, and no matter how I can't delete any of Firefox's 'creative' choices. I'm angry!
When I want to do a Firefox search I get a page with all my recent searches all laid out pretty, with a big picture, including my recent interest in setting up an online banking account. I changed my mind but the account format is still up displayed like the star on a Christmas tree. I don't need Firefox or whoever is doing this to make pretty pictures for me of my Internet searches. I have tried everything to delete the banking thing in particular, and it won't go away. I just want to have a search engine, not a webmaster. Maybe Microsoft is doing this? It's outrageous! How totally rude. This is my computer and I don't need anybody to arrange my searches in some artistic page for me to see. I keep trying to delete things and they won't leave. I'm really angry about this, and seems like a virus. It's not nice, not okay. I also can't get rid of pocket, but that's another issue. Who owns this computer anymore? Not me it seems!

Happy, I got my answer from MKII -- which is to go to the cog wheel and uncheck things. Simple. I don't feel so bad now -- that other people didn't know that was the way to fix the problem, simple.
The solution did not permit me to selectively delete the banking and keep the rest, but it is good enough. Even I might use it in the future, now that I know how to control it, which is easy as pie. Nothing like those handy icons that are stuck around for us to use. Once we know how to use them, we're good to go.
Thank you so much for your kind help, and also the rest of you. Please don't be doing anymore searching for me. I'm surprised more of you didn't know about the cog wheel.

MkII answered my question simply and directly by telling me to go to the cog wheel and uncheck whatever I don't want. Simple. Sorry I didn't know that, but obviously I'm not the only one who is confused by all the new gadgets of the new Firefox.
I might well even use some of the features in the future, now that I know how to control them. I just had to get rid of the banking thumbnail.
Anyway, thanks to everybody for your help! Happy, all of you!
You guys are great, and I really do love Firefox.
I will love you guys even more once you get the new Firefox figured out. Just please don't take away my link to be able to email stuff to people, and please, please don't ever, ever let Google own the search engine arena.
God bless all of you volunteers, and God bless Firefox too!

All about the cog wheel is explained in the article I gave you the link to earlier :
