When on MSN.com, Firefox, Chrome and IE. show a grey bar at the bottom of my screen saying "Get the MSN News App: " with four different on line stores to buy an MSN news app that works only for IPADs and Androids. It takes up the bottom 20 percent of my laptop screen. How do I get rid of it?

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.

You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.

I'm seeing that bat too, so this is likely a change that the MSN website has made. I need to zoom out quite a bit to resize the bar and see the close X

Add code to the userContent.css file.


@-moz-document domain(www.msn.com){ #promoappfooter { 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 currently used 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) userContent.css file in the chrome folder (file name is case sensitive)
  • Paste the code in the userContent.css file in the editor window
  • 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 userContent.css.
    Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userContent.css.txt file
