How do I get rid of a bar at the bottom of my screen in FireFox?

I'm using FireFox 8.0 in Windows XP with all service packs.
The website: www.washingtonpost.com,
in it's major news stories, such as:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/mitt-romney-under-attack-in-final-nh-debate/2012/01/08/gIQAAOfHjP_story.html?hpid=z2#weighIn
has started a line at the bottom of the Comments pages that it calls: @mentionmachine
There have been howl's by readers since day one of this lines start but washington post has done nothing to get rid of it.
Is there any way in FireFox to get rid of this stupid, line wasting "feature"?

Thanks for the reply. I should have stated up front that am totally ignorant on programing and customizing stuff.
I don't have a clue how to get to, find or open the file.
I did look through all the selections on the fixfox bar at the very top of the page but didn't see anything called "chrome folder in the user profile folder".
If it's simple for me, the "green horn" to get to please point me in the right direction.
If it's any more complicated I'll just live with it.
But, again thanks for your response.

    How can I get my keyboard down to the bottom of my screen

    From PJL123's post...
    Call up the keyboard so that it is visible. At the very bottom right of the keyboard is an icon that looks like the keyboard with a down arrow. Touch and hold the icon and a small popup will appear giving you the choice to undock(move it up to the middle of the screen) or split it. If you do either one on those options, you can put it back where it belongs by touching the icon again, and selecting dock.

    how can I get rid of multiple pictures at the same time?

    Adobe Bridge, lightroom and your file browser (windows explorer or Mac Finder) can select multiple pictures at once and then delete. If you are looking for more than that for information, you will need to be more specific at what your doing, what OS you have, and version of software your using. If necessary post screen shots so we can see what your doing. The more information we have the more detailed of an explaination can can give back to you.

    either Select All and drag to the left (turn on the Lock Automation menuItem if you have any automation curves)
    or
    use the Cycle Region to export the exact length you wish:

    Try asking at ifixit.com. The iPhone is not considered user servicable. You're not going to get much help on an Apple sponsored forum.

  • How do I get rid of status bar for screen shots

    How do I get rid of the status bar at the top of my iPhone 3G while taking screen shots? I'd like to publish the shots on the web and in a You Tube video.

    It depends on what you are taking a screen shot of. For example, if you are watching a video and the controls (and status bar) are visible, you can tap the screen to remove them and take you screen shot.

  • How do i get rid of accessibility bar

    I managed to get rid of the black bar on my son's log in, but it has now appeared on the main screen where all of our personal icons are.  This is the black bar that tells the user what is being displayed.
    How do I get rid of this?

    Something very weird is going on. I achieved a brief success as follows:
    Not sure exactly what did it. With Task Bar Plus, Stylish, All-in-One Sidebar, and the bookmarks toolbar disabled, I did do that reset to defaults for the toolbar. I had skipped that earlier because I did not see how it was going to affect the tab bar and my toolbar configuration (with All-in-one Side Bar) is fairly complicated. However, I was getting desperate. It still did not solve the problem directly. However, when I enabled the Navigation Bar, success! The odd thing is that I had fiddled with enabling the Navigation bar on multiple previous occasions with no luck; so I am still not sure exactly what happened. I thought the problem was solved. But it was not:
    Then I started experimenting to figure out what had been causing it. I enabled all those things (except the bookmarks bar). It stopped working. I disabled Tab Mix Plus, and I got a brief success at the first instant when I enabled the Navigation bar. Then I restarted Firefox, and it did not work then or after any subsequent restart. I have gone so far as to restart in safe mode with all addons disabled. It still does not work right. I go back to the profile from the Windows 8 install, and all is well again.
    What is going on? I may have to give up and further develop the profile from Windows 8 to come closer to the function I had in Windows 7; but I dread that process.

  • How do I get rid of extra space in the toolbar section?

    There is a blank space between the Navigation Toolbar and the Tabs. It is the same height as the other Toolbars, and is very annoying. How do I get rid of this space?
    I tried pasting in a screenshot to show what I mean, but this form won't accept it.

    Sorry thought you had placed them both on the same toolbar.
    What you appear to have a a bookmarks toolbar without any bookmarks.
    Make sure that you have the check mark present for the bookmarks toolbar
    View > Toolbars
    Use "Ctrl+B" to bring up the bookmarks in the sidebar.
    You should have three major folders "Bookmarks Toolbar", "Bookmarks Menu" and "Unsorted Bookmarks".
    If you have no bookmarks or folders in the "Bookmarks Toolbar" that would be one reason for it to be blank, another and the only other one I think is currently possible through Firefox itself is that you don't have the wording "Bookmarks Toolbar Items" in the row when in customize, look for an item marked "Bookmarks" -- there are two such items you don't want the white star on a black background and drop-down, you want the the one with blue symbol on the right hand side -- drag it to the bookmarks toolbar, be careful in dragging you might drop it in the wrong toolbar.
    If that doesn't work use the "Restore Default Set" and then you have to re-customize your toolbars (but you placed a picture here that you could work toward).
    See picture at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Toolbar_customization_-_Firefox
    for during customize with "Bookmarks Toolbar Items" showing on the toolbar.]
    My own customizations seen in this picture

  • How do I get rid of a frame round the active window?

    Suddenly a frame has appeared around whatever is the current window, including the desktop if no window is open. I have no idea how this happened, how do I get rid of it?

    I think you may have Voice Over (accidentally) turned on in the Seeing part of Universal Access Preferences. If so, you can turn it off there, or you can toggle it on/off with command-F5. (In this key combination the former is the "apple key" and the latter is the function key.)

  • How do I remove things from my bar at the bottom??

    I have just bought my first mac and im struggling I have clicked 0n console, terminal, keychain access and grapher and theyve all stayed on the task bar at the bottom. How do I remove them??

    Removing items from the Dock
    To remove an item from the Dock, drag its icon off the Dock onto the desktop; the icon will disappear in a poof of smoke. Don't worry, you didn't permanently remove the item from your computer; you simply got rid of its Dock icon. If you want that item back on the Dock, you can easily locate the application, file, or folder in the Finder, and drag it back into the Dock. Keep in mind that there are some icons that you can't remove, such as the Trash and the Finder.

    Best.
