Is there a way of removing the bookmark star from the location bar?

I can't stand that little yellow star. I stuck with it throughout FF 3.* and my heart sank to see it re-appear with the release of 4. I'm forever clicking on the thing accidentally. The little downward arrow on the far right of the location bar? That's great. I use it all of the time to access my most frequently visited URLs. But a tiny mouse shudder leaves me trying to bookmark random pages and sort things out later.

Please tell me there's a way to be rid of my jaundiced menace?

You can remove the star with code in userChrome.css

See:


Add code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line.

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

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

Worked perfectly. Thank you, I much prefer the interface this way.
