How do I delete Bookmarks Toolbar menu item?

[mozillazine2x]

I inserted the above mentioned code into my userChrome.css below the @namespace line. I have also tried other codes like

menu[label="Bookmarks Toolbar"] {
display: none !important; }

and

menuitem[id="subscribeToPageMenuitem"],
menuitem[command="Browser:BookmarkAllTabs"],
menuseparator[id="organizeBookmarksSeparator"],
menu[id="bookmarksToolbarFolderMenu"] + menuseparator
{
display: none !important;
}

(both from: http://support.mozilla.com/tiki-view_fo ... &forumId=1)

None of it works. I read somewhere that a code solution is not going to work for FF3 on OSX. So I'll keep on looking for a final fix somewhere.

I entered the following code from page one

[code]/* This removes the bookmarks toolbar entry on the bookmarks menu */

#bookmarksToolbarFolderMenu { display: none !important;}
#organizeBookmarksSeparator { display: none !important;}[/code]

It removed the seperators but it did not remove the toolbar itself.

Below is a copy of my userchrome.css .
As you can see it quite long.
I have been using this for a long time(years). The modifications that I want are still working so I have not messed with it in a very long time.

To remove the toolbar, you need to use View -> Toolbars -> Customize

[mozillazine2x]

I know how to disable the toolbar. But the object is to remove the Bookmarks Toolbar folder from the Bookmarks menu. On small screens it is yet another item taking up space. Since I don't use the Bookmarks Toolbar, I don't want the folder to appear in my Bookmarks menu.

Anyways, you're missing a rule:

menuitem[id="subscribeToPageMenuitem"],
menuitem[command="Browser:BookmarkAllTabs"],
menuseparator[id="organizeBookmarksSeparator"],
menu[id="bookmarksToolbarFolderMenu"],
menu[id="bookmarksToolbarFolderMenu"] + menuseparator
{
display: none !important;
}

menu[id="bookmarksToolbarFolderMenu"] + menuseparator only selects the menuseparator. It does not include the menu its self.

[~gargoyle]

To Bluefang.

Thanks that was the answer. The unwanted items have been purged from the list.
Just love how you can customize FF if you just know the code.

One last things how do you know this stuff?

[Bluefang]

I've been using Firefox since 2003, so I've had plenty of time to learn things through experience or from reference materials (this forum, bug trackers, MozillaZine Knowledge Base, etc).

Hi, i'm new to this site

How can I change the color and background image in bookmarks tollbar? I want to copy this bookmark toolbar.





Thanks for helping.

Too bad Sidebar Bookmark Selector does not work in OSX nor does the UserChrome.css solution. So still stuck with the Bookmarks Toolbar.

Ah, that would explain my inability to get it to work. If you find something would you be so kind as to post it? (I'll try to do the same.) Thanks

[mozillazine2x]

Will do. Although I read somewhere that Firefox menu's somehow work different on OSX compared to Windows. That might explain why the UserChrome solution will not work. I doubt a solution will be found. I keep looking though.

I like having the Bookmark Toolbar at the top of my FF window, but want to remove the Bookmark Toolbar menu item.

Will the above code remove the menu item but still leave the BookMark Toolbar in place at the top of the window above the tabs?

[Bluefang]

Yes... but you could have easily tried it out your self.

Yes... but you could have easily tried it out your self.

Thanks!

Due to multiple chronic illnesses that severely limit the amount of time I'm able to spend at the computer, I'm afraid I'm a little gun shy about experimenting with software modifications. Too many times a simple click of the mouse has taken hours of painful exhausting work at the computer to try to undo.

[dynkin]

If you just want to remove the bookmarks toolbar, you can right click on a blank space of the toolbar, choose "Customize..." and recycle the bookmarks toolbar. It is just that simple.

I'm using Firefox under MacOSX (Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092414 Firefox/3.0.3), and this doesn't work for me. However, it works fine under Linux and Windows.

Is there a special incantation that only works under MacOSX? I want to remove the "Bookmarks Toolbar" entry from the "Bookmarks" menu (note that I'm NOT talking about removing the Bookmarks Toolbar itself, just the menu entry for it in the "Bookmarks" menu).

Thanks.
