How to remove drag tab in corner of firefox window

There's a little grey area in the corner of my Firefox browser. I believe it's meant for dragging, but I have a key combo for that, and would like to reclaimed that little grey space.

enter image description here

How could I get rid of that little grey area? I remember finding a solution to this in the past, but upgrading to Firefox 65 seems to have resurfaced this nuisance : (

So, found my user browser chrome settings:

@namespace url("");
.titlebar-placeholder[type="pre-tabs"],
.titlebar-placeholder[type="post-tabs"] { display:none !important;
}

For some reason this isn't working after upgrading to Firefox 65.

Also, I disabled an extension that manages tab groups, restarted the browser and all that, but it wasn't the culprit.

Okay, solved this one. Firefox seems to have updated class names for the tab space draggable area things.

Here's the updated css:

@namespace url("");
.titlebar-placeholder[type="pre-tabs"],
.titlebar-placeholder[type="post-tabs"] { display: none !important; width: 0px !important; max-width: 0px !important;
}
.titlebar-spacer[type="pre-tabs"],
.titlebar-spacer[type="post-tabs"] { display: none !important; width: 0px !important; max-width: 0px !important;
}

Old naming convention above, and new one below. My display none and width 0 are probably a bit redundant.

Also, for those who don't know, this file should be named userChrome.css and should go in a folder called chrome that you create inside of ~.mozzilla/firefox/random-lettersi432789fd.default

There are better instructions than mine for how to edit the userChrome.css file out there.

I would comment but I don't have enough rep. I don't think I have an answer, but here goes.

I don't have that little gray space you have, neither in full screen nor in a smaller window dimension. It seems more like a hidden tab, and I found this related page, where the suggestions would be:

  • it might be related to an Add-On (like the OP finds out);
  • it might be related to problems with the sessionstore.js file in the profile folder that stores session data. You can find it in Help -> Troubleshooting Information -> Profile Directory -> Open Directory (info)

Hope it helps anyways.
