about:newtab search suggestions popup

[Kinne]

There are no settings to get rid of this, classic theme restorer doesn't have a setting for it, and adding ##table#searchSuggestionTable.contentSearchSuggestionTable as a filter doesn't work. Would appreciate a way to get rid of this disgusting eyesore.

Hi,
Mozilla removes option to change New Tab Page and Firefox 41 no longer uses the browser.newtab.url setting in about:config because it was constantly attacked by malware.
Starting in Firefox 41, you need an add-on to change the new tab page.

This is how to disable creating thumbnails on new tab page https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/quest ... wer-486349

Okay...An answer to my actual question would be nice. I don't want to get rid of the page, I want to get rid of the search suggestion popup box

Hi,

@Kinne If you want to get rid of the search suggestion popup box:
1. disable search suggestions https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/us ... gestions_2
2. on your Firefox profile folder creat new folder named chrome, on this folder creat new file named userChrome.css.
