Hi. I was hoping someone could help. I want to either move to link indicator (I'm not sure what this area is called) to the right as it appears in the screenshot, or remove it entirely please.

The reason it appears on the right in the screenshot is because the mouse is in the vicinity of where it would usually appear. I want to have the opposite effect where the links always appear on the right unless my mouse is too close (when it would move to the left).

I'm currently using 96.0.3.

That is about this CSS rule, [mirror] is about moving the statuspanel label to the right: 

#statuspanel[mirror] {
  inset-inline-start: auto;
  inset-inline-end: 0;
}

You can possibly hide only the overlink text via: 

#statuspanel[type="overLink"] {opacity: 0 !important; visibility: hidden !important;}

More info about userContent.css and userChrome.css in case you are not familiar: *https://www.userchrome.org/what-is-userchrome-css.html

In Firefox 69 and later you need to set this pref to true on the about:config page to enable userChrome.css and userContent.css in the chrome folder.

Thanks for your help in poiinting me in the right direction.

I'm not familiar enough with CSS to understand what needs changing, or how, but for now I have set the status panel permanently to the right by simply using: 

#statuspanel{ inset-inline: auto 9px !important; }


I have tried adding the following, and numerous variations on this, but the status panel remains on the right wherever the mouse pointer happens to be. 

#statuspanel[mirror] {  inset-inline-start: 0px; inset-inline-end: 150px; }


Having the status panel on the right certainly helps with with the issue I was having, but I would like to learn how to achieve this mirroring effect. Hopefully someone will be able to provide further guidance or one day I may be able to figure it out.
