Hide or remove thumbnails of previously visited web sites
I’ve visited several site trying to resolve this but keep hitting brick walls. The thing they suggest clicking on doesn’t exist or does nothing. Considering going back to Internet Explorer.

Have you tried emptying the cache and deleting cookies?
Hi ! Assuming that you're talking about the thumbnails on the New Tab Page and somehow for you clicking on the 'x' in the top right corner of a thumbnail doesn't work, you could create a new Boolean preference in 'about:config' :
Type in the address bar about:config (press Enter) (promise to be careful, if asked) Right-click on the page and select 'Boolean' enter the preference :
browser.pagethumbnails.capturing_disabled
and set it's value to true
Click 'OK'
See : http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config#Adding_modifying_and_resetting_preferences
Note that the thumbnails are stored in the thumbnails folder that is in the same location as the disk cache. See the about:profiles page for the location and a button to go to this folder. Go up one level to see the thumbnails folder.
Changes made manually on the about:newtab page are stored in prefs that you can find on the about:config page.
- browser.newtabpage.pinned stores websites that you have pinned to a tile.
- browser.newtabpage.blocked stores websites that you have removed by clicking the X button in a tile.
