Firefox 4 remove search magnifying glass

Post by Cah »

I'm trying to use Firefox 4 because I read it was more secure but I'm having problems making it look usable. In previous versions I had the following userChrome.css to hide the magnifying glass in the search box:

Code: Select all

/* Remove Search bar magnifying glass go-button  */
.search-go-button-stack {display: none !important; }
But Firefox 4 isn't honouring this and the magnifying glass remains. How can I get rid of it. Thanks.

P.S I thought I just submitted this post but it never showed up -hope this one fares better. Apologies if this post turns up twice.

Perhaps Minimalist searchbox for Firefox helps - the author mentions that it worked in Firefox 4.0b8, so hopefully in the release version too.
Best wishes,
Hans

Thanks, Hans, that works - it is just CSS code, but it works whereas my old code no longer does.
