Why is the firefox home screen RED? It's Atrocious

The system works fine, but since Christmas the home screen has been red. It's really annoying and serves no logical purpose. Has Mozilla done this? if yes: change it back, if no: how do I fix it?

Right, it's to get your attention. It worked, but obviously not in the intended way -- unless you donated before posting. Anyway, expect a boring background for the new year.

Hearts not your thing? The background is part of the donation messages. If you hover your mouse over that message below the search box, a close button (x on a circle) should appear. You can clean it all up by clicking that. Please see the attached screenshot for further illustration. Or it will probably go away by Tuesday if you reload (Ctrl+r) from time to time.
