Cannot disable green plus sign in search box again

Hi all. When I first saw the annoying green plus sign in the search box for the first time I wanted to get rid of it. I have no interest in adding whatever search functionality it provides. So I found that setting browser.search.showOneOffButton to false will turn it off, which it did and I was happy. Now that I have upgraded to version 43 I notice that the green plus sign is back and that browser.search.showOneOffButton does nothing now. How do I get rid of this thing now? I DO NOT WANT TO SEE IT. Thanks.

The browser.search.showOneOffbuttons pref is no longer supported in Firefox 43+. You can find this feature in the CTR Options/Preferences.


If the website offers a search engine then you will notice a green plus next to the search engine icon and an "Add..." item in the search engine menu that opens if you click this button.

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


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

/* replace icon with the green + indicator */
.searchbar-search-button[addengines="true"] {
 list-style-image: url("chrome://browser/skin/search-indicator.png") !important;
}

/* remove Add search engine item */
#PopupSearchAutoComplete .addengine-item {
 display:none !important;
}

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

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

  • Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
  • Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) userChrome.css file in the chrome folder (file name is case sensitive)
  • Paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the editor window
  • Make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line
  • Make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as userChrome.css.
    Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userChrome.css.txt file

Does anyone read this? Or did I post in the wrong area? For the time being I guess I'll have to downgrade my Firefox until this problem is fixed.

Thank you for your reply. I really appreciate it. The old search setting in Classic Theme Restorer worked. Thanks again.
