Solid Mobile Phone: Any way to remove New Tab Button In Firefox 3.5

Any way to remove New Tab Button In Firefox 3.5
Hope you all guys have also used the latest version of Firefox that is the new 3.5. I downloaded Firefox 3.5 and am using it now as my default browser since its release. Its really nice except the one annoying thing. Like Internet Explorer, it also has a Plus sign to open a new tab. I really don't want it to be there. Is there any way to remove this New tab's Plus sign from the tab bar ?

Yes, we can remove the new tab plus sign from the tab bar easily from the Firefox 3.5 by adding a line to the userChrome.css file in your Firefox profile folder. For doing this steps differ form OS to OS. So before making you know the steps i need to know on which Operating system you are using this version.

I am using this browser on my Windows 7 Operating system and the Firefox profile folder is situated in C drive program files.

On windows 7, Open windows Explorer and navigate to the following folder:

Quote:
\Users\[yourusername]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[profile.default]\chrome
Here, you need to add a empty file and name it as userChrome.css

Right click this file, go to option and click on Open With and select Notepad.

Now copy and paste this code in the following notepad:
Quote:
.tabs-newtab-button {display: none;}
Now close this file after saving and restart the Firefox browser.

Thats it. You are done.

You can also remove it more easily by just adding an add-on to your firefox browser. The add-on you need to install is Remove New Tab Button.It removes the new tab button from the tab strip.
