Right back at ya  !

Why would you want to remove that  ?

You don't have to use it - you don't even have to look at it.

Those lightweight themes aren't actually installed. They are only present as data stored in this pref on the about:config page:

  • lightweightThemes.recommendedThemes

You can set this pref to an empty string value (i.e. double-click the line and clear all data).

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.

Thanks that took care of it.

How can I now remove the "Recommended" box?

You do not. It is part of the UI and more themes will be added. If trying to break things that would be up to a good start. As I have no idea how to put back to gether again once it all starts falling apart.

It is doing no harm what so ever sitting there.

If you are trying to stop someone from changing things then use another Profile. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles

Is there a real need to do what you have been doing in your questions over the l ast days ? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/search/advanced?a=1&asked_by=Avengement&sortby=1&w=2 It is Looks like you need to take what your doing to the Developer Forums and Github As these are not Support Issues they are Design Issues you are trying to accomplish.

So Please do so for further questions like what you have been posting.

Although I appreciate your reply, this is not helpful.

You can remove any portion of the UI with a simple removal of a couple lines of code in most cases. If done correctly it will not "break" anything. That is also a risk I’m willing to take and have done so with several programs installed on the systems I administrate. I'm careful to make backups being doing so as well.

Last I checked, this was a help forum for issues in which I do not have the answers for. Not an interrogation room regarding how I choose to operate. For that reason I will keep this civil much like cor-el does and not involve myself in debating subjective arguments as to what constitutes needing help. With Firefox being an open source platform, options are after all one of the most important factors and is why I make the choice to use Firefox.

With that said, I'm still seeking to remove the "recommended" box and that will be the last of my questions.

Thank you.

Exactly what I was looking for.

Always a pleasure to deal with.

Wish more were willing to help rather then seek arguments.

Cheers.
