When I roll over each link on a web page, the url appears in a white box at the bottom of the browser window. How do I stop this annoying thing?

The easiest way is to use the Status-4-Evar add-on. With it you can choose to not display any of the status messages or URL hover previews, or display them in the add-ons bar or location bar instead.
