You need to create a chrome folder in the Firefox Profile Folder yourself if it doesn't exist.

Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create the userContent.css file and make sure that type "All files" is selected to avoid Windows appending a (hidden) .txt file extension.

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

Hi,

You can try to change it in Tools (Alt + T) > Options > General, Home Page.

Homepage

Options > General

Options

Add this code to a userContent.css file that you create.

@-moz-document url(about:home){

#launcher { display: none !important; }

}


http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserContent.css

In addition to the above.

The customization files userChrome.css (interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the user profile folder.
