Hide the AddOn bar by default

A closed thread on here looks to address a problem whereby the addon bar is open by default:
http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/780650
The solutions related to xmarks, among others, but this can also be caused by academic reference manager plugin Zotero.
To remedy, type "about:config" without the quotes, in your address bar, paste this:
extensions.zotero.statusBarIcon
into the filter bar (selected by default) and change the integer to 0
i would have added this to the thread which, despite being old, is still a valuable resource. If mods can add this, that would be helpful. If not, hopefully this'll be found by people searching, and help them.

Any extension that places content on the Add-ons bar can cause that bar to appear on startup.

How can I hide the menu bar of better a specific option without using an addon?

For security purpose on my environment, I would like to hide the Menu Bar option or (better) restrict the right to install an add-on, change the proxy configuration etc..
I dont want to use an add-on for that as it will perhaps not work anymore if I update my firefox.
So i am searching for a registry/file user preference solution or anything else that will let me doing that.
Thank you for your help

You can hide the menu bar and other toolbars with code in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css userChrome.css] below the @namespace line.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration#How_to_edit_configuration_files

Is it or will it ever be possible to hide the notifocation bar when using firefox? Either with an extension or as an included setting?

is there an option i havent found that will allow me to hide the notification bar while using firefox (similar to whats possible with opera mobile) if not is it likely to be added in a future update? as i dont think extensions have enough permissions to hide the notification bar.

hello, there's the fullscreen addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/mobile/addon/full-screen-252573/

Is there any way to hide the menu bar?

I've been trying to find out if there's a way to hide the menu bar unless the mouse pointer is pushed up to the upper edge of the screen, I know there are third-party applications that let you do this (Menufela which uses Application Enhancer that I prefer to avoid as it is causes more problems than it solves as far as I'm concerned), I also know that it's possible to write applications that cause the menu bar to exhibit this behaviour while they're focused.
But what I'm looking for is a way to make it behave this way all the time without installing Application Enhancer and having to deal with all the headaches that come with it.

It does seem odd that you can't get the menu bar to hide itself though, I seem to recall something about editing certain files in .app directories to make it hide itself on an app-by-app basis.
To hide the menu bar for a single application, you need to modify the Info.plist, as described -> here <-.
This will work on nearly every application. Only on a very few applications it will cause incorrect behaviour, mainly Finder.app.
So a simple way to realise your wishes, is to create an Applescript, that will "hide and unhide" the menubar for a couple of apps at one time.
Here a demonstration example: Choose one or more apps. Menu bar will be hidden/unhidden:
<pre style="
font-family: 'Courier New', Courier;
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 1;
border: 2px solid #1E90FF;
width: 700px; height: 200px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #F5FFFA;
overflow: auto;">
on run
set xyz to choose file default location (path to "apps" as alias) with multiple selections allowed without invisibles
repeat with i in xyz
set appName to name of (get info for i)
if appName ends with ".app" then set proName to text 1 thru -5 of appName
tell application "Finder"
try
if exists (process proName) then
set x to display dialog "Is " & "\"" & proName & "\"" & " still running? If so, please quit it now!" buttons {"Cancel", "Quit it!", "No! Not running!"} default button 2 with icon 0
end if
end try
end tell
try
if button returned of x is "Quit it!" then
tell application appName
quit
end tell
end if
end try
try
((i as Unicode text) & "Contents:Info.plist") as alias
set infoPlist to quoted form of POSIX path of ((i as Unicode text) & "Contents:Info")
try
do shell script "defaults read " & infoPlist & " LSUIPresentationMode"
do shell script "defaults delete " & infoPlist & " LSUIPresentationMode"
on error
do shell script "defaults write " & infoPlist & " LSUIPresentationMode -int 4"
end try
end try
end repeat
end run
</pre>

Hi jaideepdesai,
Do you have the accessibility type in page option turned on?
I think it is [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Inline_autocomplete]
I it is definitely one of these: browser. urlbar.
See [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_FAQs_:_About:config_Entries About:config entries]
By default a new window should open the cursor in the search field on the page. Resetting Firefox will get you back to the default on about:support page.

I hid the address bar with a right click option, and cannot seem to get it back, how can I do this?

I was watching some TV on the WB, and their player doesn't have a 'pop out' option, so I opened it in a new window, and hid the address bar with a right click-> hide option or something along those lines, and now I can't seem to get it back with the same methods, nor can I find a way to access properties or anything. All I can see are the tabs I have open and the bookmark bar.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

There are different solutions depending on kind of the problem.
Keyboard:Alt+V,T,N
Navigation toolbar, including address bar, should appear
Then
Keyboard:Alt+V,T,M
Menu bar, including File, Edit, View, should appear
Right-click the bookmark bar
Click Customize... in the context menu.
In the Customize Toolbar window which appears find the address bar (It will be shorter) amongst the buttons here.
Drag the address bar by mouse onto the main window, where you want it to be.

Is there an app that hides the status bar? Or permits customization of it?

I'd like to hide the time in the status bar, or replace it with other information.
Reason: I don't like being reminded what time it is when using a PDA type device, especially not in the middle of the night if I'm reading on it.
Is there an app that hides the bar universally, or lets one replace the time, with say the date or other text?

Are you sure about that? Several highly regarded, widely downloaded apps, e.g., eReader, have an option to hide the status bar. The developer forums are awash in discussions about the commands to hide the status bar-- it's built in to the SDK.
I figure someone will have put out a small program that does nothing but hide the status bar or allow its tweaking... much like StatusBar does on the Palm OS 5 PDAs...

Icons in the addon bar have moved from the right hand corner to the left

Hi everybody,
I've recently updated to the most current Firefox 4b10. I'm currently using the addon bar on the bottom that holds several addon-related icons (like firebug etc.). Those do still work, but for some reason they have moved from the right-hand corner of the addon-bar (where they have always been) to the left side for no apparent reason.
I know it's kind of a little issue, but it is really disturbing since I keep looking in the wrong corner after having the icons there for so many years. Is there any way I can revert that?
Thanks!

How can I hide the scroll bar in TextArea?

How can I hide the scroll bar in TextArea?

Hi. To remove the horizontal scrollbar you can do this:
textArea.setWrapText(true);
To remove the vertical scrollbar you can do this:
ScrollBar scrollBarv = (ScrollBar)ta.lookup(".scroll-bar:vertical");
scrollBarv.setDisable(true); and set the opacity to 0 in the css file:
//css file
.text-area .scroll-bar:vertical:disabled {
    -fx-opacity: 0;
}Here is an example:
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Node;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.control.ContextMenu;
import javafx.scene.control.MenuItem;
import javafx.scene.control.ScrollBar;
import javafx.scene.control.TextArea;
import javafx.scene.input.ContextMenuEvent;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class TextAreaSample extends Application {
    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
    final TextArea textArea = new TextArea();
        textArea.setWrapText(true);
        StackPane root = new StackPane();
        root.getChildren().add(textArea);
        Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.show();
        scene.getStylesheets().add(getClass().getResource("style.css").toExternalForm());
        ScrollBar scrollBarv = (ScrollBar)textArea.lookup(".scroll-bar:vertical");
        scrollBarv.setDisable(true);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);

Is there a way to hide the tab bar on my I Pad 2 in IOS 5?

Anyone know of a way to hide the tab bar in an I Pad 2 using OS5? It wasn't there on the previous operating system.

I can only assume that you are talking about Safari and the answer is no. Safari now uses tabs. If you want a tab free browser, download iCab. You can use tabs or you also have the old Safari way of browsing open web pages at your disposal. Another rally nice feature is that you can swipe from one open web page to another open web page. It also has a ton of other features that Safari does not have.

Is there a way to hide the status bar when reading a book in iBooks?

Every other ereader app seems to hide the status bar (at the top of the screen, with battery etc) automatically, or there is a setting to do so. I can't seem to be able to do this in iBooks. What am I missing?

Nothing - afaik iBook can't do that trick

Hide the title bar of a movie window like QuickTime X

Love the feature of QuickTime X of not showing the title bar/the control bar of a movie window (still waiting for Pro version, though. Is it coming out at all?)
I'm wondering if anyone has figured out a way/tweak to hide the title bar of a iTunes movie window like QuickTime X.
Thanks.

What child window are you referring to? Do you mean a browser window opened with web.show_document?
If so, you can use javascript to hide browser toolbars and so on. Search the forum for some javascript examples where windows are opened with toolbar=no.

How do I temporarily hide the scroll bars ?

How do I temporarily hide the scroll bars ?

I assume that your post in [[/questions/906990#answer-291125]] ended up in the wrong thread and should have appeared here.
The only thing that changes if you run the code in the Scratchpad is the disappearance and reappearance of the scroll bar in the current tab. You do not see anything in the Scratchpad. So you need to switch back to the browser window.
You can test it with this code, that should make both scroll bars appear:
<pre><nowiki>void(document.body.style.setProperty("overflow","scroll",""));
</nowiki></pre>
[[/questions/906990#answer-291125]]:
<blockquote>In Scratchpad I ran both:
<pre><nowiki>void(document.body.style.setProperty("overflow-x","hidden",""));
and
void(document.body.style.setProperty("overflow-x","hidden",""));
In the 2nd one I got:
17:48:57.826 |x unexpected end of XML source
@ Scratchpad:1'''
For the 1st one I got no activity, only a blinking cursor.
any other ideas ?
Good luck and merry Christmas, Bill

Is there a keyboard shortcut to toggle the addons bar on\off?

As the title say,now that Firefox 4 b8 has a button to close the addons bar,does a keyboard shortcut exist to quickly toggle this bar on and off ?

There's a keyboard shortcut now that the released version 4.0 is around. It's
Ctrl+/
In most cases it works OK. However I have had a situation or two in which the displayed web page had its own meaning for this shortcut... and the web page won.
I'm looking for a toolbar button that will toggle the add-on bar.
