Sailfish, you still hanging around? You helped me do this a while back
in Firefox. Well, I tried using the same userChrome.css file I use for
my Firefox 8 install but it doesn't hide the Bookmarks button on the
toolbar for Seamonkey 2.5. Here's how userChrome looks currently:
[snip /]
I thought since Seamonkey 2.5 and Firefox 8 were "the same" that it
would work but apparently now. Any clue on how to accomplish the same
with Seamonkey 2.5?
Adding #bookmarks-button to it ought to work.
Good luck.
Incidentally, is there also a similar one for the Most Visited button?
Why does nobody try to just remove those entries by deleting them (Most
Visited) or using toolbar customization to move them away (bookmarks
button)? I guess you guys just want geeky solutions instead of easy ones...

One of the things that attracted me to Mozilla software in the first
place was "geeky" control over it that no other program really afforded.
So, yeah, and that surely was Mozilla's user base until it decided to
dumb it down with the Firefox/Thunderbird strategy.
So, you can deride us users who like that fine control but you aren't
going to endear yourself to us by doing that. Nor are the devs going to
appeal to readers of this newsgroup if they hew more toward the Firefox
mentality and away from the SeaMonkey spirit of letting users control
their computers and software.
I think Robert is deriding people who when faced with two or more
methods of solving a problem always choose the most difficult or most
involved/intricate one instead of opting for the easiest way.
Not to make too much of an issue on this but the OPs original post
included a large list of elements that he wanted to hide. In his
particular case, it seems it is easier for him to simply include other
elements in his one list than trying to use multiple methods; although,
he would need to concur with my assumption. It does have merit, I think.
Not to belabor the discussion, but I take it there no method to hide
it using userChrome.css?
There's no easy way that I've been able to determine yet. The "Most
Visited", "Recent Tags" and "Recently Bookmarked" folders are
dynamically constructed items that are "children" of an XUL "tree"
element, which is an arcane way of saying that it may still be able to
be done but I haven't invested the time it will take to de-construct the
toolkit code to find a way to hide a specific folder. Perhaps some more
knowledgeable toolkit person can assist?
