I have the 3 lines on the top right for the menu bar, but just farther right are 3 other icons. One that takes me to Avira, Amazon and Ebay. I cannot right click them, they just open the webpage. I have tried using the menu button but those icons are not found. Thanks

One possibility is that those buttons are created by an extension, such as an add-on toolbar.

Since extensions are deactivated in Firefox's Safe Mode, you could check whether they go away in Safe Mode. More info: Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode.

You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
  • Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled

Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run

After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (not Reset).

Any difference?

Can you attach a screenshot?

  • Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot
  • Make sure that you do not exceed the maximum size of 1 MB

Did you verify that this aren't bookmarks?
