Configure navigation bar empty (without search box)

more options

Hello,

I need your help: how can I set navigation bar without any item (hide all items of this bar)? I need that this bar appears but empty. The reason is that I want to restrict options in Firefox (for all users) but let it be allowed open windows pop-up.

I got remove the menu button that is to the right of the whole (hamburger type), the forward and backward buttons that are to the left of the whole (which are the arrows to the right and to the left), the detention (which is the cross), etc. I did this with commands in userChrome.css file

But what I can't hide is the item where the url's are placed (search box). I just need to hide the search box. I wrote " #nav-bar { visibility: collapse !important ; } " in userChrome.css , and then all navigation bar is hidden but don't get windows of pop-up that I need them to appear.

The version of Firefox that I have is 108.0.1 (64 bits).

Could you help me, please? It's a little urgent. Thanks!!

Hello, I kind of made some headway, and now I need to know what to do to make the url that appears in the search bar (search box: the box where you write the url, for example www.google.com) unmodifiable (I don't care if you see what the url is). This is to force it to give the option to write a different url.

In principle, I don't care what way to do it: through the Windows registry, from the userChrome.css file,...

Could you please help me? Thank you.

Are you setting up a public station that you want to lock to a specific site? See: Firefox for Enterprise Kiosk mode.

Hello jscher2000, no, they are direct accesses and I need that the url to be seen, but that users cannot modify it. The mode -kiosk doesn't works ok for me because doesn't show the search box (where appears the url) and furthemore it open in full screen. Thanks.

Okay, maybe someone else will have a suggestion.

Maybe make the location bar read-only like in a pop-up window.
