Get rid of Toolbar Notes in Firefox

I have seen people, though less in number who dislike floating boxes that provide you with help and/or information when ever you hover your mouse over them.

For example, if you hover you mouse over the refresh/reload button, a small box will appear displaying ‘Reload’. Some people argue as to why this message should appear in the first place, if you already know what that button is for.

If you are among those people who don’t want to see this message ever again. Simple follow the instruction as mentioned below:

1. Open Firefox, and in the address bar type: about:config

2. A warning will pop-up, click ‘I promise, I will be careful

3. Now in the search bar, enter the following command:

browser.chrome.toolbar_tips

4. By default you will see value as ‘True‘; you need to set this value to ‘False‘.

5. Close Firefox for changes to take place.

Now you won’t have to worry about any pop ups appearning while you hover your mouse over buttons, etc. If you are having trouble figuring this one out, check out this video.
