Hi, just wondering if it's possible to remove the buttons on my pinned top sites that are on my New Tab page. I use New Tab page as my home page and have customized it to have selected 12 top sites of my choosing pinned there. However I occasionally accidentally press the unpin or remove button in the corners of these windows when I'm trying to click on the page. Is it possible to remove these buttons or make a warning before they are automatically removed with one click? Thanks!

Hello,

  1. Install Stylish and restart Firefox when prompted.
  2. Click either the Firefox button or the Tools menu and choose Add-ons.
  3. In the Add-ons Manager, click the User Styles category on the left.
  4. Click the Write a New Style button at the top. Paste the following in the text box, give the style a name, then click the Save button. 
@-moz-document url("about:newtab") {

.newtab-control-pin,
.newtab-control-block {
  display: none !important;
}

}
