How to Remove New Tab Button of Firefox 3.5
When i upgraded my firefox from its 3.0 version to 3.5 which is the latest one with a lot of features the first thing i noticed is the addition of a new tab button near a tab.
Well this is very useful,i dont use that since i use shortcut ctrl+T all the time.. so i thought of removing that button.
So if you would like to remove that ‘+’ button follow these steps.
To remove that you have to edit a file called userChrome.css, the thing is that diffrent windows OS stores this file in different location
- It’s Under the Application Data in my documents which is by default hidden,so first goto tools—>Folder options—> View—> Show hidden files and folders.
- For Windows 2000/XP, navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\[yourusername]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[profile.default]\chrome.
- For Windows Vista/7, navigate to C:\Users\[yourusername]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[profile.default]\chrome.
- If you have a customized Firefox then you will find a userChrome.css file there,open it using notepad.If you dont have any open a new notepad file.
- Add this string “.tabs-newtab-button {display: none;}” without quotes,save the file as userChrome.css.
- Restart your Firefox ,the “+” sign is gone.
Thanks to my digital life for this wonderful tip.
