what I originally posted:


they have a little bar along the top with an advertisement.. in Firefox, add this to your userContent.css:

#fb { display: none ! important; }
I'm not sure how to filter by domain or anything so it will make all id's with the id fb not display.. so that's a warning.

you can use chromedit to do it.

after some poking around, you can do it by domain if you're using a certain version of mozilla

This feature will be in Firefox 1.1 and later (NOT 1.0.2 or any variety thereof), and is currently available in any Mozilla Suite release after (and including) Mozilla 1.8a3.

and.. I just found greasemonkey..

which ... I'll probably make a post about later.


what you should do:
ok.. so here is what you do.. install the greasemonkey extension(then restart firefox)..
then right-click on this and click 'install user script'

(this is to disable gmail's ad strip across the top thing..) .. someone in irc said they didn't see it, so... mm, it may not be appearing for everyone ... possibly..

this is what it looks like if it is there:

edit: just did a bug fix(may5th) so if you want to re-install the script that would be good (the node is removed entirely instead of relying on the CSS display property...)
edit2: i don't think the bugfix fixes actually works.. meh. i'll look into it later.
edit3: fixed earlier problem.. [may12]
