I am not talking about that Mozilla Home button. That I cannot actually
remove. It is totally unnecessary for most end users.
Liked to have the usual home button for a favorite home page there after
Back, Forward, Reload and Stop ones, in the Main Toolbar, that is the only
one I use there.
I am talking about Classic theme I like, after Edit / Preferences /
Appearance/ Show Toolbars as pictures only setting.
Just a minor thing missing for an otherwise perfect simple interface. Just a
suggestion for the next release.

there is a Home button you can configure to any page you want!

First, the icon on the far upper right is not a button, but is actually
called a throbber, and yes it is linked directly to the Mozilla pages

The Home button you want is selectable, you can turn it on or off, and
configurable, you can set to which page it points

Mozilla-->Preferences-->Navigator

Turn ON the Home button in the lower panel, and use the upper panel to
set it to a specific page
The Home button will now appear in your tool bar

The Mozilla Throbber does more than just link you to the Mozilla site.
It indicates when the program is busy (such as when searching/contacting
a page etc). And many people DO use it, they access the Mozilla site,
and get updates or new versions, or extensions, or a myriad of other
options available from the site.

It goes into the Personal Toolbar. You see I want as simple browser look as
possible. I dont use the that toolbar.
Should go into main toolbar.

The ability to have a simple look goes for here too, the stop button has
also red color when the browser is busy, and I do have a status line at the
bottom. It is only a minor annoyance to me, that throbber, even Firebird has
it, although it is not so annoying in that browser. Mozilla's one looks
almost like some small animated advertisement ; )
Also the Search text in the finder button should go away.
Well, these are just my opinions, tastes vary, but should be able to
configure like that.

The Home button in the classic and default themes is only available in
the tool bar
Other themes may move the Home button

With the myriad of themes available, you should be able to find one to
suit your taste.

?? Text in the Search Bar goes away when you hit Search

Just a comment but you might want to explore the personal toolbar more
thoroughly. It's a great way to access bookmarks, keep bookmarks
arranged, etc. It can be minimized or restored with a click. To each
his own but it really is a powerful tool.
