How do I eliminate Want to simplify your Firefox and learn how to remove buttons? Get started!
I want to eliminate the animation that is on my Mozilla Firefox home page. It has been there since the latest update ( I do like the changes). I thought that once I opened it up and browsed through the new features it would go away and I would have my regular start page. I do not mind whats below the search box, I just dislike the animation above it. Thanks

Mozilla.org changes the display once in a while. After a time it gets changed back. Check out about:blank
If I am unable to change my my mozilla start page back to its original maybe I should just use another browser that doesn't have the annoying animation above the search box
If you'd like to remove the animation, you can follow the guidelines I've outlined here. I know it's not a completely straightforward fix, but it's really the best that I can do.

If you prefer not to see snippets on the about:home page then you can set the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref to an empty string on the about:config page. Delete the storage\moz-safe-about+home folder in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed ("3-bar" Firefox menu button > Exit/Quit) to remove snippets stored in IndexedDB and make Firefox use a default snippet set. You can reset the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref via the right-click context menu to the default value to re-enable the snippets.
