Anyone know how to hide this?

I don't think it was there until I enabled firefox sync. I'd like to remove what is inside the red box. Does anyone know how to do that?

about:config these flags
- Worked perfectly. Thanks FuckyWucky.
- thanks!
  also for easy copying: identity.fxaccounts.toolbar.pxi
- Please dont post pictures of text.

I now use Librewolf, a free to use fork of firefox and don't have these popups. It's otherwise exactly the same as the stock firefox experience (including extensions), but the Mozilla premium services are now opt in.
- Same here. I was so tired of having to turn off so much junk every time I installed Firefox.
  
  I've been using LibreWolf for weeks and it hasn't broken a single thing yet... not sure what you're on about
- Doesn't it also turn on stuff like aggressive fingerprint protection (which provides more protection against fingerprinting, but also breaks more and more important stuff).
  
  Yes, these additional settings are turned on by default. If you find they interfere with your browser experience you can turn them off to bring things back to near-stock firefox.
  
  I've yet to find anything that it broke after weeks of use... and anyway it takes two seconds to disable that for a few mins in the rare event it's necessary.
  Overall an unambiguously better internet experience on LibreWolf coming from years of FireFox for me.
  
  do you happen to know a fork that doesn't do that? A Firefox exactly the same but without mozilla's BS is what I'm looking for.
- These comments are about as useful as the “switch to Linux” comments.
  
  It's not the same thing as recommending switching to Linux from windows because LibreWolf is an extension of the existing Firefox code. I think it's more akin to downloading an extension or upgrading to windows plus, you don't lose or have to adapt to anything in the changeover.
  
  I'm sorry but that's absurd.
  Switching to LibreWolf after YEAAAARS of Firefox took me less than five minutes. I've encountered exactly zero downsides and my experience of the internet immediately improved.
  Nobody changes operating systems of any sort with such little friction.
- Unless something changed you cannot use Firefox sync on librewolf though? At least last time I checked it wasn't there as it would defeat the purpose. Just saying because OP specifically sees this after switching sync on.
  
  They have it available in the settings now, opt-in.

This is getting bad :(

Do any of these turn it off? It doesn’t say it is for that part, but maybe it would work anyway.

You can do it using css in your userchrome.css.
- AFAIK that would just be hiding them. That means you dont benefit from the minor performance boost you get from turning it off in the configuration.

Try Tor Browser. It based on Firefox but they strip out all this crap

I like floorp, you can put the tab bar on the top, side, or even the bottom (I like that as it keeps it close to the taskbar)! Rhe UI is very customisable and I like it :D
