Comments:

jimmyrcom: why should I download anything if I can just make a small modification in the userchrome file? lol

hoponcok: Because it's quicker, takes up less room as all the menus are replace with one 'menu' icon. But each to their own. Btw I wasn't criticising, that's a good video you've made there, but I'm sure a lot of other people will find that extension very useful.

schadd: thx for this video, had nice time hacking :0)

DaBurpKing2k7: My Help bar is still there, why?

ewert333: Did you copy paste and put a comma? i had the same problem at first, just follow the instructions when he deletes history and bookmarks...

ewert333: I really enjoyed this, Found it on stumble upon. by the way history key is kind of important, you can go to the last thing you viewed if you close firefox, Unless you know how to do that too...

ewert333: i know that, but when you click history at the top it shows the most recent sites you've been on. When you hit ctrl + H it shows all the sites in alphabetical order. The back key works but when you close fire fox and want to see the page you were last on, with out searching for it via. history is what im curious about, is there a way to organize history in terms of most recently used instead of alphabetically?

jimmyrcom: just use tabmix plus plugin and have it save last opened windows

ewert333: Hmm interesting I will give it a shot, Thanks and BTW the hack works flawlessly, only have file, history(for now) and tools. Thanks again!

connerthomas: It Works With Netscape As Well

zachevans93: foget it i typed in blue in firefox not thinking i would find it but i did. lol

magoosh007: I've been wanting to get rid of these menus for awhile but didn't know how. Thanks Jimmy.

camarojay007: for me firefox has a customize option right click empty spot on tool bar click customize drag help button into window that easy...

smz414: lol imagine the new spam you're going to get with your email showing so clearly.

CKyzOnLy: what are you using to screen capture?

mohammedbaboor: He uses camstudio. Search 'jimmyrcom camstudio' and watch his tutorial on it.

CKyzOnLy: yea i know. but like i dunno wether camstudio on fullscreen lags on mine cos my computer is slow or wether jimmys dosent cos his computer is fast. woch it is just wondering cos im pretty sure camstudio is'nt that smooth, even on a fast computer right?

mohammedbaboor: I have no idea aout on a fast computer because I have a slow computer also. But if you use fullscreen and upload it onto YouTube, I'm sure you know that it will be blurry as hell.

CKyzOnLy: o no i mean full screen camstudio seems to lag on mine, like blinks alot not smooth. lol thanks anyways

SQaudiophile: How can i make the tabs automatically display the home page? when i hit Ctrl+T my new tab is blank and i have to click the home button.

mohammedbaboor: Good question. I'd like to know that also.

lasse882: What about "åäö"? In swedish firefox "Help" is "Hjälp" and Bookmarks is "Bokmärken". I can't delete them from the menu. All others whitout "åäö" works just fine. Why and can i fix it?

trekerrr: im into minimalist too! :)
the problem is.. the address bar is too wide. how do u resize this? another thing would be the tools menu. how did u put it beside ur address bar? lastly, theres this yahoo thingy which i cant remove.. pls reply :)

julsyosi: mine says userchrome-example no .css, is that a problem why I can't get rid of my "Help" button? Can anybody help me out!!!

julsyosi: jimmy rules, i've seen his videos many times..very educationanl...!!!

skguy08: Jimmy Thank alots for this videos

AdrenalSurge: Your videos are great man, keep it up man!

Lewdis65: when i did the code to get rid of the help, it was still there..?

databert: it is important wich languange do u use!
if you use for example German-Language
you must write:

menu[label="Hilfe"]{display:none !important;}

so check it out ;)

GRRRLpaua: I love jimmy's tutorials, but for those who can't follow simple tutorial(likeme) then try using chromeditplus..the catch is it will cost you some memory 'cuz it's an addon!!

freepatriot: Not only is this very great info, you are a great teacher. You know why? Because you do not take FOREVER to say something. I hate videos that explain things sooo sloooowly ... I mean, come on.. we can pause, rewind the video. There is no reason to go slowly. Just give the information!!!!

You do a great job in this regard. Fast presentation of information = win!

Greyh0und: you can also use Tiny Menu extention and just let it show the buttons you want it to :)

Dominicankid2k7: I can seem to make this work on Firefox 3
