In the address bar hiding light gray text
When the address bar is empty - I'd like it to be blank. I want to remove the light gray text "Search Bookmarks and History", "Type an internet address", (etc?).
They show up at about:blank (etc?)

And could someone on vista homepremium HP, ff3.5
please tell me if their windows titlebar changed from black to blue suddenly!
There's nothing on the internet about it, and it happened suddenly for me.
I don't know what happened. Did it happen to anyone else?
Or is everything messing up for just me?
About a year ago I had an email exchange about the titlebar with the programmer who made this:
MR Tech Toolkit :: Add-ons for Firefox
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/421
I wanted to set the font "globally" - all over firefox. I succeeded, but I couldn't change anything about the font in the titlebar with stylish or with greasemonkey.
He told me that - inside firefox - it was impossible to change anything about the titlebar's font. He said the only way I could change font stuff was use software that could make o/s level changes to the titlebar.
I'm using vista home premium on a dell

For 1, 2, 3, 4 - replace

-with-
#urlbar [empty="true"]
The result is the same each time - no change

WHOOPS
Maybe you meant I should use namespace?But neither of these work
@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul); /* text when the address bar is empty ------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ #urlbar [empty="true"] { color:transparent !important; }@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul); /* text when the address bar is empty ------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ #urlbar [empty="true"] * { color:transparent !important; }/*THIS ONE WORKS FOR ME (VISTA FF3.5)*/
#urlbar[empty="true"] *
{
color: transparent !important;
}
RE: titlebar
The same change ocurrs with ie8 so that's why I'm thinking it's a windows vista home premium thing.
It's only the background color that changed in the titlebar.
See edit 4.
Black ] URLbar Textbox

I was able to change all text/url stuff...
@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul); #urlbar .textbox-input-box { color:red !important; }But I couldn't get that to work with [empty="true"]
problem solved

Maybe I couldn't remove the text since I kept testing on an already open about:blank tab.
Anyway - the text is gone.
Anyhow, I'm glad you have it all worked out! :)
what's with the huge font? My ears hurt.
Barbie,
i use vista HP and my title didn't change, bg or font. Look under control pane/Personalization/Customize colors. It might have been reset somehow. I had it once - i use a Graphit light shade but this one time i noticed things were looking too blue. Went there and sure enough, it's was reset to default. I know i did not do this. My guess? Some update? Disk cleanup/defrag glitch? Uninstalling (or installing) a program? One thing for sure, you can not change it with Stylish or anything w/in a browser. It's a system thing.
Also - I'd like to hide the url for example.com - how can I do that?

Ya, somehow it swiched from Windows Aero to Windows Home Basic color scheme, all on it's own. But, now I kinda like Home Basic and I'm gonna keep that color scheme, cause the other was too turquoise for me. Thanks for info!
Next time I'm gonna buy a mac, I'm so tired of all the windows updates. Can you imagine if we had to do daily updates for our stove,fridge,telephone,cellphone etc.
PS: Your so-called "buggin" ChoGGi for things, is for all of us. You're fightin' for all of us and we're all behind you as we all benefit from it. Thanks for that!

You can get bold red on the forum with either of these firefox addons: (that makondo told me about actually)
BBCode
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/128
Text Formatting Toolbar
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4763
Thanks for being behind me ...
ChoGGi is too ... 'dear' for that (as somebody called him in a thread a while ago and i think it's quite becoming).
