I just updated Firefox, and saw this Forget button option, I went to look at it, and hit the Yes by mistake. I dont need it and I dont want it. But there are no instructions of how to get rid of it!

So please give me the way to delete this Forget button. Thank you, Lilly

Hello,

You can hide the button through the customization page.

  • Enter the customization page by:
    • Enter about:customizing into the address bar and hit Enter
    • Right click on your toolbar and select "Customize"
    • Go to New Fx Menu > Customize
  • In this page, click and drag the "Forget" button to the "Additional Tools and Buttons" pane
  • Close the customization page and the "Forget" button should no longer be visible

For more information, see Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars.

It's built into the program. Just remember not to use it.

Darn, I sure should have not added it. Just more clutter on the bar.

If Mozilla does decide to give us a way to remove it, please let me know. Argggghhhh, Thanks anyway

Does hiding the button actually disable it or just get it out of sight?

Hi JuneC,

Hiding the button in the Customization page prevents you from accidentally clicking on it. You also cannot access that button again until you bring it back onto your toolbar/menu, also through the Customization page.

An auto run icon will run even if removed from the toolbar. If you remove a manual icon ( you need to press it ) you can't press the icon, so it can't start.
