Announcements:

I am currently writing at Computelogy.com actively and that's why i sort of abandoned my own tech blog. Since i am too busy to be taking care of both sides, i guess this blog will go into hibernation for a very very long time. Regrettable, but then it's hard to come up with new posts & stuffs.

So once again, i am now writing actively at Computelogy. Feel free to visit there and enjoy our latest articles and posts!

Hide Firefox's Bookmarks Toolbar


I had little respect and need of toolbars, no matter it's Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome or Opera i'm using. The first thing i always do after i reformatted Windows and installed Firefox to be used together with Internet Explorer, is to install Firefox add-ons and disable the annoying toolbars that come bundled in with those browsers by default. I also make sure i do not install any toolbars that come with any software installation, notably those installations from Iobit Software.

One of the annoying toolbars in Firefox is the bookmark toolbar. Why do i need to call upon bookmarkings? While practically not being used at all, it took off a small chunk of space within the browser window. I can remember those sites that i often visits and i can retrace websites that i once visited, as long as i remember the keywords. Sometimes when i wanted to refresh or stop a page from loading, i ended up clicking on the "Getting Started" button which brings me to the Mozilla Search Homepage...bookmark toolbar also openly betrays your privacy, by the way...


To all of you out there who are Firefox "whatever-bar" haters like me, here's two nice little tweaking procedures:

A: Hide the Firefox Bookmark Bar:
--------------------------------------------

1. On the Firefox browser window, go to 'View'

2. Select 'Toolbar'

3. Find the entry which says 'Bookmarks Toolbar' and uncheck the option. Enjoy a CLEANER Firefox browser window!

B: Hide the Main Toolbar:
--------------------------------------

1. This will require downloading a Firefox add-on known as "Hide Menubar". Visit this webpage and download "Hide Menubar".

2. Install and restart your Firefox. Notice that the main toolbar has disappeared! To view the toolbar, press the 'alt' key on your keyboard. Vista users shouldn't have trouble in getting used to this...:)
