How can I hide or disable the Navigation Toolbar in Firefox 31/38 ESRs within the browser? A third party addon is not sufficient. In Firefox 24 ESR, the Navigation Bar could be removed by deselecting it from a context menu after right clicking the top of the browser chrome. This option to hide the Navigation Toolbar appears to have been removed from the menu in Firefox 29.

You might be able to use custom style rules in a userChrome.css file. If you search around, perhaps a specific rule will pop up.

You could try this query: hide navigation toolbar "userchrome.css" site:support.mozilla.org {Apr 1, 2014 – Dec 31, 2015}

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


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

#nav-bar { 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.

Note that current release no longer show a replacement location/address bar if you press Ctrl+L like very old versions did (Bug 953124).
