Somehow a shopping cart image became the background on my Safari start page. The version I am running (15.6.1) does not have those buttons on the bottom right corner. How can I fix this?

Thanks. The issue I was having was that the Options button was not showing up on my page. I tried everything. I even ended up updating to Big Sur in order to get a newer version of Safari. BUT Big Sur was terrible. Ended up using my TimeMachine backup to return to Catalina.
I had an appt. scheduled with the Genius Bar at my local store but got an idea this morning. Put a photo on my desktop. Slid it over my Favorites page. Voila. Offending image gone and replaced. Somehow inadvertently a desktop screen image of a shopping cart got slid over my Favorites page. I had no idea that had happened. Now I actually do have those Option buttons appearing and a lovely image as background instead of a stupid shopping cart page. Cancelled appt. and am all good and happily back to Catalina.

Hey there Rosebud3,
Use the steps below to help with setting up a background in Safari:
1. In the Safari appon your Mac, choose Bookmarks > Show Start Page.
2. Click the Options buttonin the bottom-right corner of the window.
• Background Image: You can choose a provided image, or choose one of your photos (the first option on the left). If the first option shows an Add button, click it to choose one of your photos. If the first option shows a previously chosen photo, click the Close button
to choose a different photo.
You can also drag a photo onto the start page.

Take care!
