remove search bar in new tab window
I would like to remove the search bar from the "New Tab" window. it causes the bottom row of frequently used thumb nails to disappear. I am using version 39 and this happened with version 38 but there was very simple way to remove it. Thank you

Add code to the userContent.css file.
@-moz-document url(about:newtab) {
#newtab-margin-top,
#newtab-margin-bottom,
#newtab-search-container {display:none!important}
}
The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.
You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
- Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
- Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) userContent.css file in the chrome folder (file name is case sensitive)
- Paste the code in the userContent.css file in the editor window
- Make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as userContent.css.
Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userContent.css.txt file
