1. Download the Stylem extension:
https://addons.palemoon.org/addon/stylem/
2. Add a new style, name it home style or something and paste in the following:
Code: Select all
@-moz-document url(about:home) {
#searchLogoContainer {
display: none !important;
}
}

@
leothetechguy: Don't often use about:home myself... maybe I should give it another whirl.
Perhaps try adding an 'Eerie Black' background to the about:home page for Halloween?
Code: Select all
/* Alter about:home page background colour to hex code #1F1F1F 'Eerie Black' */
@-moz-document url("about:home") {
body {
background-color: #1f1f1f !important;
}
}
Lots more Ideas on this old '
firefox about:home' Pastebin page:

A few more can be found in pre-2018 Reddit Firefox CSS pages:

I use it mainly together with the
Home Styler extension, which gives it all sorts of nice backgrounds and icons. So this was just a small fix for me, but thanks for the ideas

Actually I did not even know an about:home existed (my home page is ... mine), and I thought you wanted to remove the search engine fro the navigation toolbar (which I did long ago by View-Toolbars-Customize and drag and drop). When I want to call the search engine I do from a bookmark. But actually I found about:home quite nice with the other links to functions I usually call from the menu bar. I added it to the bookmarks !

Thank you for this. Really helped me with the Photonic theme which modified and flattered that icon making it ugly.

Or for fun, to hide the search feature entirely, change the element-ID to searchContainer, which will hide the outer Div:
Code: Select all
@-moz-document url( about:home ) {
#searchContainer { display : none !important; }
}
