Firefox 3: Disable Toolbar Help Balloons

Posted by Mitch on Jun 25, 2008 under Firefox Tips | 4 Comments

After installing Firefox 3 along with my StumbleUpon toolbar, I started getting these annoying toolbar tips that kept appearing. I discovered a way to disable them though.

1. In the address bar, type about:config in the address bar and press Enter.

2. Locate and double-click the entry for browser.chrome.toolbar_tips

3. Double-click on it to set it to false.

      Thanks a lot! That balloon was driving me nuts when dragging bookmarks from addressbar to bookmarkbar folders.

      I could kiss you. Now, if I could just get rid of all tooltips/infotips/infoballoons in MS I’d me a happy man. Thanks for a good start.
