Allows the Go’ button to removed from the Firefox address bar.
Compatibility
- Tweak does not work with Firefox 3.6 or newer
Background
With the new default theme for Firefox 2 there is not a ’simple’ way to remove the ‘Go’ Button from the navigation toolbar. Many users found this ‘button’ unnecessary as a simple ‘enter’ upon entering the address would do the same thing. By removing the ‘go button’ the address box will be a little bigger. Note: this tweak applies to Firefox 2 only.
The Tweak
There a couple ways to remove the Go Button either via about:config or modifying your userChrome.css file.
about:config method
- In a new tab and type about:config
- In the filter box type (or paste) browser.urlbar.hideGoButton
- The default settings is FALSE. Double click on the entry to change the value to TRUE
- Changes are effective immediately
userChrome.css method
Use the ChromEdit Plus extension. Add these lines to your userChrome.css file located in your profile folder:
#go-button-stack, .search-go-button-stack {
display: none !important;
}
Be sure to save and then restart Firefox for the changes to take effect.
