Hi,
You can do that much easier. Install the extension called “Stylish”, then restart Firefox. Right-click its statusbar icon, then click “Write new style” -> “Blank style…”. Give the style a name, and paste the code inside the larger textarea. It’s even possible to preview it before saving. However, you can’t currently undo and redo preview without doing [Ctrl]+[A], [Ctrl]+[X], “Preview”, [Ctrl]+[V], “Preview”. From the manage interface added into add-on manager, you can also easily disable and uninstall it, like extensions.

In most times, you don’t need restart to apply/undo changes. One exception is when you hide scrollbars, you’ll need to restart, otherwise you’ll get a small 4-way scollbar inside sites and textareas.

I used this tweak to auto-hide the toolbar, but now clicking on any bookmarks in subfolders of the Bookmarks Toolbar doesn’t work?

Any ideas?

I want to increase the toolbar space. I dont care about the viewing area, and I also dont want to stuff multiple buttons under one folder/button. How do I do that.

To hide the Bookmarks Toolbar, I followed the directions (added the two lines to the end of my userChrome.css file and restarted Firefox).

But the Bookmarks Toolbar is still there!

Please advise. Thanks.

I’m new at this kind of thing and having trouble getting this to work. Right now the only text in my userChrome.css file is: #PersonalToolbar {display: none;}
#navigator-toolbox:hover > #PersonalToolbar {display: -moz-box;}

…and it is saved in: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile\chrome

Thoughts? Also, does anyone know how to expand the bookmarks toolbar to be two lines?

Thanks.

@Al: ">" is the child selector; it only selects the direct children of an element without selecting its descendants further down the tree.

Is the > after hover correct? I thought it should be a semicolon?

Great hack — always enjoy your blog!
