I just upgraded to Firefox 4 in MAC and now the tabs have favicons on them. How do I remove them?

Chosen solution

I use code in userChrome.css to achieve that. What the Bookmarks Deiconizer extension does can also be done with code in userChrome.css by the way.

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


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

/* Tabs: no icons */
.tabbrowser-tabs .tab-icon-image { display: none !important; }

/* Bookmarks Toolbar: no icons */
#personal-bookmarks .toolbarbutton-icon { display: none !important; }

Thanks. But that removes them from the bookmarks toolbar. I want to remove them from the tabs.
