how to remove a cockroach from the right corner of browser?

Firefox->Tools->Addons->Firebug->Uninstall

No! I want to only change this icon

[Vinny]

You can only remove it by unistalling Firebug.

Can you tell us why you don't want to see the cockroach?

[kiev1]

I am and not amateur of cockroaches, they are opposite - help to show
out them

[batdevis]

I've the same problem... my webdesigner hates insects, so she doesn't
want to use firebug.

well, I guess you can change the image in the xpi of Firebug (it's just a zip)

First of all, that's clearly not a cockroach, if you know what a firebug
looks like. Jeez.
Secondly, as a psychotherapist (who programs for the love of it - which
makes me a true amateur), I would not attempt to fight the near
universal phobia women have about creepy-crawly things. There is some
pretty good evidence that this is hardwired, and it certainly IS
resistant to treatment, whereas most other phobias are NOT. It likely
has to do with avoidance of crawling things which in tropical
environments are too often poisonous and therefore likely baby-killers.
Evolution favors women who are insect phobic in such environments.

Still, I confess, that I'm biting my tongue. I want to advise these gals
to please simply grow up and get on with the work, for Pete's sake. I
don't, however, advise taking that tack! I doubt that it would be effective.

Maybe you can put a bit of opaque tape on the screen where the
"fire-roach" tends to appear. Sometimes humor will solve problems which
resist all other approaches!

Crawl on...

i, too, dislike the bug icon that is *always* there. i know, it's
irrational :) but it bothers me enough that i am going to have to do
something about it. i am probably going to hack the XPI to change it
to a cuter bug--or, more likely, a neutral shape of some sort.

apologies for resurrecting an old thread, but i just installed 1.2beta
today.

It's quite easy.


1. open firebug1.0-current.xpi with WinRar (www.winrar.de)
2. go to the folder \chrome\icons\default
3. delete the firebug.ico
4. paste a new firebug.ico ( the default icon is an ico file
containing 2 icon, 16x16 and 32x32 both with 32bit color depth)
5. install the new XPI

:-)

plenty of icons to choose from here: http://www.iconarchive.com/

Thanks for the detailed steps.

Looks helpful, but I'm not sure what you mean by this step.
"install the new XPI"

1. I miss the old green/red button.
2. I especially miss its spot on the right. Any way to move it?

I think I'm going to get into the habit of pressing F12. Can't stand
looking for that hard-to-see bug, a little more than 2/3rds of the way
across.

Just as an add-on

the icon in the 1.2 version is located in:

firebug-1.2.0b3-fx.xpi\icons\default



remember to use "Save link as..." so FF does not open and install the
plug-in

:-)
