The star in the Firefox 3 location bar can be used to bookmark a website quickly. A white star is indicating that the page has not been bookmarked yet while a yellow star is indicating that the page is already in the bookmarks. Some users prefer the old way of adding bookmarks by using the shortcut CTRL D.
If you are one of the users who prefers the old way and wants to get rid of the star which does not have another function than the ones described above you can do that by adding an entry to the userChrome.css file in the Firefox profile.
Just add the line #star-button {display:none !important;} to the end of that file to remove the star from Firefox 3. The Mozilla Knowledgebase is explaining how you can find the Firefox profile folder.

Firefox Bookmarks Gone ! What now ?
I like the star button. And there is a similar option to make sure the ‘Go’ button stay at all times.
For those of you who don’t want to delve into UserChrome and such, simply install this UserStyle:

I HATE the frigging star buttons!
So far I’ve followed the instructions for Chrome.css as well as installing Ben’s userstyle and they are STILL FRIGGING THERE! (in the drop down menu)
I regret ever updating to Firefox3. The previous Firefox was fine – but no, I had to listen to the hype.
I did as instructed and it worked for me. There was already a file userChrome-example.css in the active profile’s directory. I added the line #star-button {display:none !important;} in the end and saved it with the name userChrome.css. And voila the annoying star for bookmark was not there
