Moving to Site Discussion.....

Unlikely as it is not an ad... it is a part of the workings of the site, containing links to the knowledge base, and various other mozillazine items.

This is best hidden using userContent.css. That particular part doesn't have an ID, though, so I guess it'd take some advanced CSS to select it to hide.

I think I saw a GreaseMonkey script that will hide it...

Unlikely until np finds a snippet of code that does the job.... Hehe (corrected as usual)

I use to have the useful links from the sidebar (pretty much what is in top box) in a thin line at top using userContent.css tweaks, but once I got a 20.1 widescreen at 1680x1050 I put most of the side bar back on right to make it so the forum is not as wide. I also do userContent.css tweaks to give the forum a black/grey background rather than the bright white and green look.

with GreaseMonkey, YES you can toggle the sidebar on/off.

<a href="javascript:var disp=%22table-cell%22,node=document.getElementById(%22sidebar%22);style=node.style.display; if (style==%22table-cell%22)disp=%22none%22;void(node.style.display=disp);">Toggle Sidebar</a>

The above is a bookmarklet - just drag that link to your Bookmark Toolbar Folder. Yes, the whole "column" disappears, but I ain't jumping through no hoops on this one.

That one came from dickvl, and there are many other useful bookmarklets listed in, er, the bookmarklet thread in the Tech Forum.

You could probably use Remove It Permanently to remove that.
