Get rid of the mac top bar?

I recently updated my operating system, and when I booted up Firefox again, it had this finder bar that wasn't there before, and I would like to get rid of it again, and I have no idea how. Here is a screenshot of what I am talking about, the bar above tabs. http://puu.sh/6OFqM.png
Please help, this really bugs me.

You can try to toggle full screen mode on Mac via Command+Shift+F).

You can also try to remove the Firefox plist file (org.mozilla.firefox.plist).

Go to "~/Library/Preferences" and remove the plist file for Firefox (org.mozilla.firefox.plist)
You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file.

  • Updated Firefox, now when I open a new tab, there is two seperate google search bars; how do I get rid of the unnecessary search bar?

    I updated Firefox, and after I restarted it, when I opened a new tab, I found that I now had two Google search bars: one next to where you type web addresses, and one right above my pinned sites (or my frequently visited sites). I'm just trying to:
    1. Figure out why it is necessary to have two of the pretty much identically useful search bars when I really only need one (or can physically type Google in)
    and
    2. How do I get rid of the unnecessary second Google search bar above my frequently visited and therefore pinned sites.
    If you have any ideas of how to remove this annoying addition, I would appreciate it.

    I am guessing that you installed an extension, related to "new tab", which added the first search bar. Firefox 31 in includes a search bar for the "new tab" page; so now you have two.
    Take a look at that extension (Options or Preferences) to see how to disable ones of those 2 search bars. Or see if an update has been released for that extension, specifically for Firefox 31, with an option to disable the search bar.

  • I recently downloaded a program and have now lost Firefox's "awesome bar" which has been replaced by the program's own search bar. How can I restore the "awesome bar" and get rid of the other search bar?

    I recently downloaded Bearshare.com which then overrode my Firefox "awesome bar". Now when I enter a search item in the search box at the upper right of my screen, I'm automatically shunted to this new search bar where I have to re-enter my search item and click return before it will begin a search. Previously, the Firefox "awesome bar" opened automatically together with my home page and I had the choice of searching using it or the default search box at the upper right of my screen. I 'uninstalled' Bearshare but it now continues to come up when I search using the right hand top search box , forcing me to use it instead of the search box at the upper right of my screen. How do I get rid of it completely so that only the "awesome bar" appears as an extra tab when I open Firefox browser?

    First, some clarification:
    * The location bar (often called the "awesome bar") is the larger bar on the left that shows you the address of the page you are currently viewing. As you type in the location bar it searches your history and bookmarks for matches.
    * The search bar is the smaller one on the right. It typically displays an icon of whichever search engine is currently selected and may display search suggestions as you type in it.
    It sounds like you are referring to the search bar rather than the location bar. You can change search engines for the search bar by clicking on the icon on the left edge of the search bar and choosing a different one. You can also choose "Manage Search Engines" to remove ones you aren't interested in using.
    It also sounds like Bearshare might have changed your homepage in Firefox. To restore that you will need to open the preferences menu (click Tools > Preferences), go to the General tab (first on the top left), and click "Restore to Default".

  • How do I get rid of the stupid menu bar on my 2nd display?

    I do not want my menu bar to display on my 2nd monitor. The fact that apple decided that it would be okay to reduce my usable space on my 2nd screen infuriates me. How do I revert this back to how it was previously? I don't want the menu bar (or the dock) on the 2nd screen, at all.
    I didn't see any settings to get rid of it, so I assume there is a defaults write to get rid of it..
    When I "drag the menu bar" to get rid of it, via the settings, nothing happens. It is still there, except now it is greyed (and still useless). And it still takes up the space and makes the 2nd screen less useful.
    I want it to behave like it did previously: the 2nd monitor has no menu bar that blocks usage, and is used as a place where I drag extra windows.
    Any help? This is /really/ annoying and I honestly regret upgrading.
    Thanks
    - Joey

    If you do not want to utilize the new full screen funciton independently (i.e.  a full screen app on monitor one & a separate full screen app on monitor 2) go to System Prefs ->Mission Control -> Uncheck the box 'Displays have separate Spaces'.  This will remove the dock & menu bar from your 2nd monitor.  Unfortunately, until there is an update, you have to choose between the two options.

  • How do I get rid of the infoatoms advertising bar that keeps popping up?

    I keep having this advertising bar pop up. I have followed all instructions to get rid of it. I have uninstalled it and selected disable ads. I have even uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox 3 times. This is only happening with Firefox. Now, I am not showing the InfoAtoms in the programs, but it is apparently still there hijacking my Firefox every time I open it. I use Firefox for a class, but I am getting very frustrated with this advertising bar. Please help me get rid of it.

    I reset Firefox to its default (see Firefox Help), and then in Control Panel of Windows uninstalled InfoAtom itself, as well as a couple of other questionable items that were installed without my knowledge at the same time. In Control Panel, it doesn't give you an option to uninstall, but you'll get to it by clicking on "Change." I tried disabling it through Firefox first, but that did not work. This way I know it's gone, gone, gone! And it really does seem to be gone.
    In case InfoAtom is still watching this thread, my feedback is thus: My problem with InfoAtoms was that it was somehow installed without my knowledge, under the radar of my anti-virus, which should have asked me if I wanted to allow changes from that company. Then I started noticing all the ads, which I dislike. Then that there needs to be a message board on how to get rid of it. Fooling with this took some real time out of my morning.

  • Get rid of the google search bar??

    I have used Firefox on Linux also on the same machine.

    webgrunt, this thread posted about a year ago.
    The Search bar is a not a Google search bar but rather it just had Google selected as the search engine at time.

  • Simple question: Getting rid of the yellow playhead bar

    Hi guys,
    Stupid question, but, sometimes I accidentally activate the yellow bar above all the tracks that determines where the track ends and goes back to play at the beginning, but I can't figure out how to make it go away! How do I disable it?
    Thanks!
    Alec

    You can call .setUndecorated(true) on your frame. This will get rid of all decorations, including the title bar, maximize/minimize and the borders. To get the borders only to show, do .setUndecorated(true), then manually add a border to the Frame (I've forgotten the exact method name, but I believe it is setBorder or something similar - check the JDK 1.4.1 API's JFrame entry for more info)

  • How can I get rid of the mac partition and leave windows?

    My 2009 MacPro is currently partition into MacOSX 10.7.5 and Windows 7.  I would like to delete the mac side completely and just leave windows on. I want to do this so I can regain the memory into the windows side and have this laptop be windows ONLY.  Please don't ask why, is simply what I want to do but if you must know... I'm buying the new Pro and I rather keep this old one with windows especially since I have invested $ into the window programs like access and I don't want to loose them but I also don't feel is worth spending more money on windows. The only reason I have windows is because unfortunately and I hate to admit it but apple is not always good for college or business when you need to run programs that are only friendly with windows. Anyways it comes down to not loosing what I invested so I rather keep all the memory in this old computer with windows and all the new memory I'm getting on my new pro with just apple.

    Your best option is to backup, SAVE, all your Windows personal files and program install files that you may have on the drive along with the most current version of the Boot Camp Assistant driver package download to an external drive. Then use a Window 7 install DVD to completely erase, repartition, the drive and foramt it NTFS then install Windows all by itself. Yes you can do that.
    Fooling with the current partitions may cause the system to become unbootable until you use a OS X or a Win 7 installer DVD.

  • How do I get rid of the new "status bar" at the bottom of the page where the web address pops up?

    On the left hand side of the page in the bottom corner, the web address pops up every time a new page is loading. What if I don't want that? How do I disable it?

    miss.bev.brown, Right-click on a toolbar, then click on teh "Add-on bar" entry to de-select it.
    If the add-on bar keeps coming back, you will have an add-on that is causing this. One that does this is the McAfee Site Advisor, disabling or uninstalling it stops that from happening.

  • How do I get rid of the MP3tube menu bar/program that has shown up on my computer ?

    Every time I open Firefox the menu bar for MP3TUBE comes up at the bottom menu bar. it opens the program, not AOL, the program that I want.
    In the search box of MP3TUBE, it has "powered by yahoo".

    If you do not want to utilize the new full screen funciton independently (i.e.  a full screen app on monitor one & a separate full screen app on monitor 2) go to System Prefs ->Mission Control -> Uncheck the box 'Displays have separate Spaces'.  This will remove the dock & menu bar from your 2nd monitor.  Unfortunately, until there is an update, you have to choose between the two options.

  • I cannot get rid of the AOL tool bar. I use FF 14.0.1. Posted solutions for old versions of FF do not work.

    This is a problem that occurs on my wife's computer, not this one. The only difference on that computer is that has a D-Link USB adapter as it is connected to our network via a wireless router. Could that have something to do with the problem? Could the installation of the D-Link program have brought along the AOL tool bar with it?
