I tried hiding the favorites star, and the feeds icon. The star was gone instantly, but the rss feeds icon wouldn’t go away. I changed the code up a bit and it works now, this is what I used if anyone needs it:

#feed-button {display: none !important;}

Hope that helps!

I have the same issue. I finally moved from IE7 to Firefox, because I hear all this great stuff about how much faster, safer and better firefox is. I install it, and within 1 day, I see the same issues. When I do a google search, it brings up a list of the searches I find. If I click on the link that I want, it takes me to some stupid shopping link. If I go back and choose the link again, it takes me to a different shopping link, or to some dumb style magazine link. After about the 4th try, it finally goes to the page I want. I ran a spyware program and it did not fix it. There must be some type of add on that I did. I added the sticky pad, the weather forecast and Kallout. It must be one of those. Have you installed any add-ons?

Indeed, I only moved to 3 because I got a system destroying virus sticking with 2. The reason i stayed with 2? this fucking feature.

“An option to restore its old behavior was available for a few weeks during Firefox 3 development but it was pulled basically because it would need a lot of testing and it was thought it was not worth it. The option may come back for Firefox 3.1″

I think your a bunch of idiots.

Is there any way I can completely disable the address bar search? So that when I type an address it just goes into the bar and nothing else is being done in the background until I hit enter and it tries to load? See, my problem is that when it tries to search while I type it hangs and I can see what I’ve typed or move to a different tab while I wait for it to load. This is very frustrating, if I’m typing a URL chances are I know the whole URL and can type it faster than FF can do it’s search shit.

tl;dr? == do not want.

Hi, thanks for the posting. I also want to express my dissatisfaction here, since I’m not sure where else to do it. :) What really bothers me about these tweaks is that Firefox’s own methods for removing the bookmark/address bar history don’t work. I mean, if you go to tools/options and tell it to clear all history, it should clear all history. If you manually delete one, it should delete permanently, not come up the next time you start Firefox. Additionally, CCleaner doesn’t get rid of them anymore. Overall, it’s a true pain and a real turnoff. I changed it so that nothing shows now, but of course, now I have to type in every URL from here on out.

I said the same thing when I first upgraded my Firefox. Now, I love it. The autocomplete feature has helped me find pages that I never would have found if I had to search through all of my history manually.
