Can`t get rid of "Launcher" bar on bottom of my home page.

I have Google as my home page. The one with only the search text bar with Firefox logo above it. Nice and clean. Now I keep getting what is called a 'launcher' toolbar on my Google home page and I would like to get rid of it. I found by right-clicking the page that 'Inspect Element Q' shows the code for this 'toolbar' and from what I gather it is a Firefox feature. I would like to get rid of it. Are there code changes I can make in the Element Q window that will eliminate this 'launcher' toolbar? Thanks!

this line in the userContent.css file should hide the bar:

@-moz-document url("about:home") { #launcher {display:none!important} }

Is your home page URL the built-in about:home or an actual google.something address?

Hi jscher2000, and Thank You for helping me out. I do not have a Google address as a home page. I just chose the Google main search page as my home page if that makes any sense. The page I chose shows up with the Google search input text bar if you know what I`m talking about, then just a little above that is the Firefox logo. up in the top right corner of the web page is the word 'mozilla' in grey. About the same shade as the grey used for the icons on the 'launcher' bar I would like to get rid of. I am going to try and attach a Wordpad screenshot of my home page.

Also here is the code that makes me believe I can get rid of the tool bar.

  1. launcher {
   display: -moz-box;
   -moz-box-align: center;
   -moz-box-pack: center;
   width: 100%;
   background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.03);
   border-top: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.03);
   box-shadow: 0px 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.02) inset, 0px -1px 0px rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.25);

}

Sorry I don`t know how to properly post code here. Anyway. I think you get the idea. Any suggestions are appreciated. My picture of my homepage won`t upload. Sorry.

You know, I started thinking, maybe this is a blank Firefox homepage with a Google text bar. I don`t know.

this line in the userContent.css file should hide the bar:

@-moz-document url("about:home") { #launcher {display:none!important} }

Well, I didn`t have a userContent.css file. The only file resembling that is userContent-example.css. So I made one with the line you suggested and I still get the tool bar at the bottom of the page. So now...I don`t know what to do. But I feel I am very close. Thank You madperson.

Did you make sure that the files name is userContent.css (type is Cascading Stylesheet) and that Windows didn't append a hidden .txt (userContent.css.txt)


@-moz-document url(about:home){ #launcher {display: none !important; } }

jscher2000, madperson, and co-rel, Thank You very much for helping me. For some reason, madperson`s solution did not get traction until I rebooted my computer. ??? Anyway, the toolbar is gone now and life is good!

madperson`s solution required me to find my Firefox folder etc. on C drive so if you are reading this you will need to do that as well. Here is what madperson told me to do...

this line in the userContent.css file should hide the bar: "@-moz-document url("about:home") { #launcher {display:none!important} }"

I added the quotes to the outside of the code for clarity. madperson was very clear on his/her solution.

This is what I did. Opened Notepad, added the above line and saved as a .css file. For some reason I didn`t see this work until after I rebooted my computer. Don`t know why but I`m glad it worked and Thanks to all who helped.

you're very welcome - at least a restart of the firefox is necessary for the settings in the userContent.css file to take effect ...
