The filter to remove the home tab on the left side of my iGoogle page is no longer working. It is "google.com#TD(class=leftborder)". It quit working sometime in the last day or two, I'm not sure when I last signed in to iGoogle.
I am using Firefox 4.0 and Adblock Plus 1.3.5.

Go into igoogle settings, select english Uk ( if it is selected already, change nothing)
Change nothing else, Click Save at bottom of page.
The home tab should now be gone. Go into Tools- options, Click use current page,
Do this or igoggle will revert to the page with the Home Tab...
hope this helps.

Yep, that works!! thanks Ares2!!
Just out of interest... how do you work out the updated filter to use? Is there an obvious place to look in the iGoogle page source code?
