How do I remove the "Subscribe Now" button and heading when an RSS feed is displayed?

It's a yellow colored box that displays at the top of the page. It has options for subscribing to the displayed RSS feed.

How do I remove this whole box from being displayed?

Thank You, ~Donavon

Make sure that the userContent.css file is a CSS file (Cascading Stylesheet) and doesn't have a hidden .txt file extension.

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

  • Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder

Did you install any add-on? If you did, try to uninstall it by pressing Ctrl+Shift+A, find the add-on you installed under tab Extensions then choose Remove.

Thank You for the response.

I do not have any add on's related to Bookmarks or RSS..

From my understanding "Live Bookmarks" is part of Firefox and is NOT a add-on.

I attached a picture of the part I don't want to show.

Add code to the userContent.css file.

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

#feedHandler #feedHeaderContainer { display:none!important; }

I created a file called: Users/All Users/Mozilla/userContent.css

Added the contents:

  #feedHandler #feedHeaderContainer { display:none!important; }

Restarted FireFox and the header still comes up. Is there a step that I missed?

Thanks, ~Donavon

OMG. How do you know so much??

This worked.

So an outline of what I did for anybody else that may need This:

  • Find current profile directory: Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder
  • Create "chrome" directory if it doesn't exist
  • In "chrome" directory create or edit "userContent.css" file and add this line: #feedHandler #feedHeaderContainer { display:none!important; }

Thank You!! ~Donavon

You're welcome

Always make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when saving a file in a program like Notepad.
If text files is selected then the program adds a .txt file extension that you may not notice because MS has decided to hide a few file extensions including .txt.
