hi friends, does any one know any tweak that could make that box on the left side with100% written in it vanish ? the box is located between the plus and minus (zoom in zoom out) icon on the Firefox 29's navigation bar it is an eye sore and unnecessarily takes up real estate

Chosen solution

Hi eighthwonder, after you install the Stylish extension, you can create a new rule from either of two places:

  • new "S" icon on the toolbat
  • Add-ons page, User Styles section

(See attached screen shot)

Stylish extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/stylish/

Hello eighthwonder,

Thanks for contacting Mozilla Support. I don't think there are any tweaks to remove the zoom level. One other option would be to remove the control from your UI and use the keyboard commands Control + or Control - to zoom in and out.

Some kind individual may create an addon that removes it at some point, so keep an eye on http://addons.mozilla.org.

Please let us know if this answers your question.

Cheers, Patrick

Maybe a custom style rule applied in a userChrome.css file or using the Stylish extension? See attached screen shot for demo.

@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);
/* Hide Zoom Reset (%) button */
#zoom-reset-button {display:none !important;}
/* Shrink + and - to fit into regular space, YMMV on the size */
#zoom-controls toolbarbutton {min-width: 3.5em !important;}

Toolbar, not menu?

When you move the controls to the toolbar, you don't want the second part of that rule, but instead you want to get rid of the extra separator in between the + and - buttons. So:

@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);
/* Hide Zoom Reset (%) button */
#zoom-reset-button {display:none !important;}
/* Hide Extra Separator */
#zoom-controls separator:nth-of-type(1) {display:none !important;}
