My Google Home page has gone funny!

until this morning when I switched on.... and "Firefox is installling your updates and will start shortly"...
Google page appears covered in little square boxes with "TinyPics" logo and a message saying "this image has been removed or deleted"..
I had stylish and several other firefox add-ons installed, and there used to be a small tool bar to change things at the bottom right corner... however that has also disappeared.
I do have IE installed, (who hasn`t apart from Linux owners )... and the Google page is just plain white, (normal)..
I can`t see anyway of removing the TinyPics logo squares.... so that I can use the Google search box properly, as everything searched seems to be covered in this TinyPics stuff unless I access it from my bookmarks....

very difficult to see anything behind those TinyPics logos, so without you pointing me in the right direction I would never have seen it...

have managed to re-install "stylish", and downloaded a "theme" for the Google page, but it does not "happen"... only get the top tool bar changed colour... still got "tinypics" logos all over screen and cannot even read the listings when I put into the search bar.
don`t want to lose firefox, so wonder what other search engine I can download, to replace google....
how can I revert to a previous version of Firefox? (don`t know which one is current...... on my "update" this morning )

Exactly my feelings... no bottom tool bar to show "progress" bar, and stylish addons...
just found out if I "sign in" on google, I then get the "tinypics" logos briefly, then the pic that I chose from PP`s suggestion appears... however the "progress bar" tool bar does not......
Also... just found out that if I type into the google search bar, for any web information, the pic I chose disappears, and the "tinypics" boxes come up again concealing any reply

Have disabled "some" of my FF addons in Stylish, and now get the google page when I boot up or click on firefox...However .... still not getting the "stylish" etc taskbar... bottom right, nor am I getting a "progress bar" at the bottom.....
UPDATE.... just right clicked on the top toolbar, and found Add-on Bar, not checked.... now checked (ticked) and it appears below.... so progress...... (of sorts) !

Now... Stylish is working , as I have my "puke green" colour background on Plusnet.... and I have used the "addons" under TOOLS on top tool bar, to install another background for Google home page... so progress.... however,
although I have "Ghostrey" , "X Marks" , and "Reminder Fox" as normal on the (bottom) Add ons Taks bar.... I still do not have Stylish showing.......
The new Firefox has moved the Refresh Page icon to the right at the top, .... most annoying... and it looks as though I shall have to use the TOOLS and Add-ons to change styles in Stylish...
why can`t they leave things that work .... alone... If it ain`t broke.... don`t fix it ....

Quote from: Oldjim Fixed my black bar problem - changed the object code in stylish from gbx4 to gbx3
I'm not following this Jim. Where do you see stylish to change from gbx4 to gbx3?
@shutter, when you say refresh do you mean the reload button as mine is on the left

Of course if you haven't added Stylish you won't see it
