how to remove "bookmark this page" icon from the location bar

[joefiesta]

How, if possible, can I remove the "bookmark this page" icon (big star on the right) from the location bar?

Use this code:

#star-button-box {
  display :none !important;
}

does anyone have a response about my last entry?

If you remove the button, you have to use alternative ways to do what you intend to do, but keeping it visible might be the better solution for you.

1. Ctrl+D, if the bookmarked page is currently open, can still open the menu. You also can manually drag and drop existing bookmarks between bookmark areas, folders etc.
2. Ctrl+D, if the bookmarked page is currently open, or right-click a bookmark and edit it.

@Aris-t2 - Only partly true here.

1. If page is not bookmarked, CTRL + D bookmarks it. However, the menu simply flashes and disappears. I have no choice of WHERE to bookmark it (and that is important to me). I subsequently have difficulty finding the bookmark.
2. If the page IS bookmarked, CTRL + D opens the menu, but choosing "Edit this bookmark" again makes the next menu simply flash and disappear. And CTRL + D in this case offers no option to DELETE the bookmark (or is that usually in the edit menu?).

The flashing and disappearing does not happen in my tests, but we can try a different approach.

Using this code instead of display: none will keep the button, but hide it and reduce its used space to a minimum. That way all CTRL+D functionality should stay. I still think keeping the button is the best solution to keep usability.

#star-button-box {
  width: 0.1px !important;
  margin: 0 !important;
  padding: 0 !important;
  opacity: 0 !important;
}

Thanks.... that works. the button is still there, but so small!! ha ha Clever!
I thought at first it did not work. My testing uncovered what is probably a flaw with Firefox.

If you open Bookmarks/ Bookmark current tab... and then, doing nothing on the popup, move the cursor OUTSIDE of the popup, the SAVE option is automatically processed. (this is from the FILE menu... I presume the button does this also.)
