Hello, does no one know how to do this? Surely out of the huge numbers of highly skilled people who frequent this place someone knows the answer to my question. I really want to get rid of that annoying icon.

Do you mean the domain label that show next to the Control Center 'i' icon?

• https://support.mozilla.org/kb/control-center-site-privacy-and-security-firefox

I use code in userChrome.css to hide this label and show it when I hover this icon.

Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.

• http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

/* Site Identity Button, EV: hide label */
#identity-box #identity-icon-labels {display:none}
#identity-box:hover #identity-icon-labels {display:-moz-box}

The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.

• http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration

• 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) userChrome.css file in the chrome folder (file name is case sensitive)
• paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the editor window
• make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line
• 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 userChrome.css.
  otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userChrome.css.txt file

You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:

• Help -> Troubleshooting Information -> Profile Directory:
  Windows: Show Folder; Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder

No I mean the circle i icon itself.

Why do you want to hide this label?

#identity-icon{display:none!important;}

This 'i' icon provides an easy way to access "Tools -> Page Info" and inspect cookies and permissions for the current tab.

You can inspect cookies and passwords and permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab via these steps:

• click the "Site Identity Button" (Control Center 'i' button) at the left end of the location/address bar
• click the arrow to expand the security message
• click "More Information" to open "Tools -> Page Info"
• click "Permissions" to inspect and modify permissions
• click "Security" to inspect and modify cookies and passwords in a standalone window

• click "View Cookies" in "Tools -> Page Info -> Security" to inspect the cookies from the domain in the currently selected tab
• click "View Saved Passwords" in "Tools -> Page Info -> Security" to inspect the passwords from the domain in the currently selected tab

Does it really matter why? I do not need FF trying to protect me from myself. I know how to click through to find that info if I need it. The 'it made XYZ easy" debate could be made to add anything and everything to the address bar.

I will try that line of code in the .ini file to see if it achieves the desired effect. Thanks!

Thank you that worked just fine. Much appreciated!
