How do I remove arrows beside folders in bookmark toolbar?
Years ago, I found out how to remove the space-wasting arrows from beside the many folders on my bookmark toolbar. I did this by adding a line to userChrome.css (see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=912026 )
Today, I have Ubuntu 11.10 with FF 7.0.1 & there does not seem to be a userChrome.css....
So please let me know how to remove the irritating arrows!
Maybe you could also publish the method, for other sufferers?
Thanks!

Add code to userChrome.css in the chrome folder below the @namespace line.
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#personal-bookmarks .bookmark-item[container] > .toolbarbutton-menu-dropmarker { display:none!important; }

Thanks very much for your reply, cor-el.
I think I followed your instructions, but without success yet...
Let me clarify what I did, in case there is some obvious error.
I went to my FF profile folder & there was no chrome folder.
I made a new empty folder called "chrome".
I opened a new document in text editor & called it "userChrome.css".
I copy/pasted everything below the line in your reply into userChrome.css.
i.e. ............................................................
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
- personal-bookmarks .bookmark-item[container] > .toolbarbutton-menu-dropmarker { display:none!important; }
............................................................
I saved userChrome.css into chrome.
I opened FF, but no change - arrows still present.
I rebooted, but no change.
In addition, I looked at the userChrome.css file in my main PC (FF 7.0.1 in Ubuntu 11.04) & that was slightly different:
.............................................................
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* set default namespace to XUL */
- PersonalToolbar .toolbarbutton-menu-dropmarker { display: none !important; }
............................................................
& tried copy/pasting that instead of the first version, but that produced no change either.
Thanks for any further suggestions!
Make sure the the file userChrome.css doesn't have a hidden .txt file extension. Windows does that if you save the file as a text file and haven't selected all files.

Thanks for your patience, cor-el !
After careful checking, I found a typo in a file name... With that fixed, your initial suggestion now works perfectly!
Thanks again!
You're welcome.
Glad that you got it working.
Thanks it worked
