Hi,
I recently had to reinstall my OS and notice I now have an additional Google search bar…(with other search engine options)
How do I get rid of this search field? It's a great feature, but unfortunately does not suit how I use Google or Firefox.
Real estate is valuable to me and when I’m working I must shrink all my windows.
My problem is when I do this the Firefox search bar crowds the address search bar field. There is no place left to type in where I need to go.
Is there a way to remove the Firefox search?
I have been a loyal Firefox user since very early on, but would move back to explorer if I can't resolve the removal of the extra search thingy I don’t need.
I have uninstalled all the extra addons and extensions I had downloaded from Firefox hoping to lose this extra search field but to no avail. Can you please help?
Please advise,
Warm regards,
RV123

If I understand correctly, you can remove the search bar by customising the toolbar in the normal way.
Just open up the customisation palette and drag it away.
Add #search-container
Add
#search-container {
display: hidden;
}
To userChrome.css
its very easy to remove the search box at the top right
Hi ,
There is no need to uninstall any addons or anything. Its very easy to remove the search box on the top right crornber of the firefox. Right cick in a empty area in the bar and click on customize. Now drag the search bar into the newly opened windows, then it no longer appears in the bowser.

Add to userChrome.css:
#search-container {
display: none !important; }
Save and restart Firefox.
