For those looking to get even more space on their toolbar or simply don’t care for the Firefox Throbber, here is an easy way to remove it.
Note: You will need the ChromEdit Plus extension
- From Firefox Tools Menu Select ChromEdit Plus then ChromEdit from the submenu or click the ChromEdit button
- Scroll to the bottom of the document
- Copy and paste the following:
#throbber-box {
display: none !important;
} - Click the ‘Restart Firefox’ button.
- The Throbber will be gone after the restart
throbber sounds so vulgar.
Well, now that you mention it…
The easiest way is to click View -> Toolbars -> Customize…, and drag the throbber to Customize Toolbar window.
I thought that would work as well, but apparently with the new theme in 2.0 you can do this.
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\chrome\classic.jar
Open classic.jar delete 2 instances of loading_16.png and delete all image files containing the word “throbber.”
…NO MORE throbber on the tabs.
