Pale Moon forum

I'm sorry to have to ask this here, but I did about a dozen Google searches and because there are so many different yet related browsers I can't seem to find direct instructions on making one small UI change...

There is a yellow "star" icon inside my URL box, over to the right near the pull-down triangle. When I hover over it, I see the Tooltip text "Edit this bookmark". I don't think it was there before, but I might not have noticed it.

I don't want it there. I want as much room as possible for the actual URL to show, since I'm putting everything (icons, menus, URL box, search box) on the one line. I prefer to edit bookmarks the old fashioned way - through the Bookmarks menu.

How can I remove this star from the URL box? I presume it must be possible.

Thanks in advance.

Pale moon is quite nice, by the way, especially augmented with uBlock Origin. I feel I'm actually approaching a somewhat secure browsing setup with this software. A big THANK YOU to the developers/maintainers.

I think you could do it by having user-chrome set id of "star-button" to display:none, but I haven't tried it. There might be another better way also.

Yes, that userChrome works, I use it. There's a thread with details here.

Thank you.

The following two items worked to remove the two unwanted buttons from within the URL bar:

1. In "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Moonchild Productions\Pale Moon\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\chrome\userChrome.css",
2. In about:config,

Set browser.urlbar.rss to false.
