Search bar

Is there any way to remove the default word "Search" from the search bar (so that's it's blank when it does not reflect any particular searches)?

How would anyone know what it is for?

I removed the search bar long ago.

You can use code in userChrome.css to hide the placeholder text.

https://www.userchrome.org/firefox-chan ... e-css.html

Code: Select all

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

/* hide placeholder */
#urlbar *|input::placeholder {opacity:0 !important}
#searchbar *|input::placeholder {opacity:0 !important}

Many thanks, dickvl. Works like a charm.

WaltS48, no offense, but I can't believe "How would anyone know what it is for?" is a serious question. Did you never notice the search icon preceding the text?
