Using Firefox 36.0.4, the Awesome Bar and the icons below the Awesome Bar are "covering" several of the icons that should be seen on my Optimum e-mail page. The previous version of Firefox did not have the words and icons for Most Visited, Getting Started, Latest Headlines, Apple, Yahoo!, News, and Popular. The e-mail page info that I no longer see was, with the original Firefox, displayed where those icons and labels are now displayed.

How do I delete or shrink those labels/titles and icons?

Customizing Firefox is very easy. Please see this document: Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars

Nothing in the Customize Firefox controls, etc takes me to the items I want to delete.

If this works, it is a mystery to me how to make it work.

Then it's may be affected by toolbar. So see if this can help: Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page

No toolbar, per se, is in the way of the items I cn not see.

The several icons/labels that are in the place where the desired items should be are all part of the Firefox 36.0.4, and immediately below the Awesome Bar.

These icons are not in a separate toolbar.

The info at "Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page" does not permit access to the undesired items.

Can you please give a screenshot of your current skin.

You can use one of these to set which toolbars to show.

  • "3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize > Show/Hide Toolbars
  • View > Toolbars
  • Right-click empty toolbar area

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
