how to eliminate the "tips" box that opens below the google bar
When I open Firefox a "tips" box opens under the search bar. I don't want this tips box to appear.

In the location bar, type: about:config and hit Enter.
In the filter at the top, copy/paste the following: browser.chrome.toolbar_tips
Double click it to toggle it from "True" to "False"
Do you mean the Bookmarks Toolbar or another toolbar?
Can you attach a screenshot?
Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).
I've sent a screen shot to "notifications@support.mozilla.com, and here it is below. I want to eliminate the boxes like the one with the orange "X" that appear automatically when I open the browser.
thanks Bud
You can hide the box that shows the snippets with code in userChrome.css
Add code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line.
You can use the ChromEdit Plus extension to have easier access to the customization files.

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */ /* hide snippet container on the about:home page */ #snippetContainer { display: none !important; }
This is all beyond my paygrade. Maybe one of the grandkids is at home with writing code...
