Remove Subscribe to this page from bookmarks?
browser.urlbar.rss is set to false but I still have the "Subscribe to this page" in the bookmark menu. Why?

browser.urlbar.rss controls whether to show a feed button in the address bar; it has nothing to do with the bookmarks menu.
That entry can be removed from the menu by using userChrome.css.
This worked just now for me on Windows 7, PM 28.3.0:
Code: Select all
/*Remove "Subscribe to This Page" from Bookmarks menu*/
#subscribeToPageMenupopup {
display: none !important
}

Re: Remove Subscribe to this page from bookmarks?
If you are not using MacOS, you should be able to get rid of that subscribe line and its separator by using a userChrome.css file in a chrome subdirectory in the profile.
The code:
The code:
Code: Select all
/* Do not remove the @namespace line -- it's required for correct functioning -keep it at the top*/
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");
/* set default namespace to XUL */
#subscribeToPageMenuitem + menuseparator, #subscribeToPageMenupopup {
display: none !important;}

Thanks a lot. I know you have to create the css file, but I don't have a have a chrome folder either. Do I need to create it too?

Yes, you do.
(MZ-kb: chrome folder; profile.)

This is for PM Portable. I put the chrome folder in:
C:\Program Files\Pale Moon Portable\User\Palemoon\Profiles\Default\
And put userChrome.css in the chrome folder.
Also somehow my non-portable PM has the subscribe line removed, but has no chrome folder, so is there another way? I looked in:
C:\Users\Brian\AppData\Roaming\Moonchild Productions\Pale Moon\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\

AFAIK, no other way (unless some extension is doing this).
Try this:
- Close out all versions of Pale Moon.
- Then open the portable version. Only.
- IMPORTANT: Make sure to start up using the portable shell, Palemoon-Portable.exe (and not " palemoon.exe " because that would indeed cause the portable to use the profile of the installed version).
- Open about:support (Troubleshooting information) and click Open Folder. This should open whichever profile you are actually using, so you can check whether it's the profile you expect, and in fact contains chrome/userChrome.css. If anything isn't what you expect, fix it;
- In addition, check if you perhaps left " .txt " on the userChrome file (userChrome.css.txt); if so, remove that.
