In the filter at the top, copy/paste the following: browser.chrome.toolbar_tips

Do you mean the Bookmarks Toolbar or another toolbar?


Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).

I've sent a screen shot to "notifications@support.mozilla.com, and here it is below. I want to eliminate the boxes like the one with the orange "X" that appear automatically when I open the browser.

You can hide the box that shows the snippets with code in userChrome.css

Add code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line.

You can use the ChromEdit Plus extension to have easier access to the customization files.


@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

/* hide snippet container on the about:home page */
#snippetContainer { display: none !important; }
