Banish large website logo from URL

[Skylark42]

I am bothered by an enormous logo that appears in front of many/most URLs with Firefox. I don't have any other browser, so I don't know if the problem is widespread.

The problem is that I only have a small monitor and the useless logo takes up most of the address bar. Please see screenshot at: http://i64.tinypic.com/20hrl2w.jpg. In this case it's green.

Is there any way to get rid of these images? I want the address to consist of the URL only, e.g. for duckduckgo it should say only http://duckduckgo.com/.

You can use Location bar/Page three in the extension Classic Theme Restorer 1.6.7 - click "Hide Labels"
On some systems the Hide "I" icon will work for that item on some systems.

Thanks, Grumpus; I'll give that a try!

You can use code in userChrome.css file to only show the label on hover.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css

Code: Select all

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

/* Site Identity Button, EV: hide label */
#identity-box #identity-icon-labels {display:none}
#identity-box:hover #identity-icon-labels {display:-moz-box}

You need to create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the profile folder (<xxxxxxxx>.default) if this folder doesn't exist and create the userChrome.css file in this folder using a plain text editor.
