Vimperator: hide navigation bar in newer Firefox

Post by ^rooker »

Since some versions, vimperator is not able to hide its navigation toolbar in newer Firefox versions.
It has to be hidden manually every time Firefox is restarted:

Code: Select all

:set gui=nonavigation
Here's a workaround for how to hide it again permanently, just like it used to work in the past:

1) Create a "vimperatorrc" config file:
(by default, there's none)
Enter the following command in vimperator's commandline in the browser:

Code: Select all

: mkvimperatorrc
Then, exit Firefox.

2) Edit your vimperatorrc:
On GNU/Linux, it's in your home folder, on Windows, it's in "C:\Users\$USERNAME\".
Add the following line at the bottom:

Code: Select all

set "gui=nonavigation"
That's it.
Jumping out of an airplane is not a basic instinct. Neither is breathing underwater. But put the two together and you're traveling through space!
