I have google as my home page. I am trying to figure out how to get rid of the tip or brief FYI message that shows up just underneath the search box. Can you help? Thanks

Do you mean the snippets that you see on the about:home Home page?

You can hide the box that shows the snippets with code in userContent.css 

@-moz-document url(about:home){
/* hide snippet container on the about:home page */
#snippetContainer { display: none !important; }
}

You can use the ChromEdit Plus or Stylish extension to have easier access to the customization files.
