After searching, I have found a way to turn off the flashing green arrow in userChrome.css. For those similarly affected, you need to add the following to your ~/.mozilla/firefox/<profile>/chrome/userChrome.css file:
/* * Turn off flashing green download arrow splash: */
@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);
#downloads-indicator-notification { display: none !important }
There seems to be at least six other methodologies to not see that annoyance: 1- http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/Moz/ffrv26-os131-120.png 2- Use SeaMonkey instead of Firefox+Thunderbird, which uses substantially less RAM than the two separate products combined. 3- browser.download.animate.notifications: false 4- browser.download.useToolkitUI to true 5- Stylish extension 6- Status4Evar extension
This looks highly unprofessional in a business setting such as a presentation or in court. No professional needs the display looking like a circus with each click of the mouse during a presentation.
I know this is a mozilla issue, but it is worth keeping in mind for all developers. When this 'cutesie' stuff is added, for goodness sake, create a simple check-box that allows the user to turn this stuff off -- without having to waste time to find out how to hack css files to get rid of this unwanted fluff. Interfaces should be clean, functional and unintrusive.
Remember, a new feature is a BUG if it cannot be turned off. Hopefully there are not too many more of these in firefox or thunderbird... -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation)
