Why does Firefox have that little resizer corner thingy? The one that rests in your status bar, on the far right side. I am not even sure what to call it. It has no point, because I can grab Firefox from all four corners to resize it to the size I want. So the question remains – how do I remove it?
I now turn towards my favorite Firefox modification tool, Stylish to do the job for me. Go check out ffox 3 no resize”thing” in the lower right corner and load that into Stylish (or Greasemonkey). Now, you should have a little more status bar room.
As an extra bonus, if you want to make your status bar appear more flat, and remove the borders between things – copy and paste this into Stylish.
/* ::::: flat statusbar ::::: */
.db_downbar, statusbarpanel, .statusbarpanel-iconic,
.statusbarpanel-iconic-text, .statusbarpanel-menu-iconic,
.progressmeter-statusbar, progressmeter {
-moz-appearance: none !important;
border: none !important;}
Credit for that tip goes to the mozillaZine forums. Doing so should remove the junk and leave things with a cleaner look.
