[SOLVED] Firefox/GTK - How to disable the icons on buttons?

I'm running GNOME 2.30 with Firefox 3.6.3.

I have set: gtk-button-images = 0 in .gtkrc-2.0 (although I think it might be deprecated), as well as setting buttons_have_icons to false in gconf under /apps/desktop/gnome/interface.

All other programs have icon-free buttons, but Firefox insists:

[img]redacted[/img]

Is there something I'm missing?

I'm pretty sure it depends on gtk theme. Change your gtk theme to one which has no icons on menus/buttons.

Re: [SOLVED] Firefox/GTK - How to disable the icons on buttons?

I'm not so sure ... I've tried all of the ~25 GTK themes I have installed, and they all still have icons, but only in Firefox.  All (most?) other GTK apps I've tried removed the button icons.

I'm in Xfce now, and the situation is the same.  Look at the "Close" buttons in both sceens:

Icons on buttons ENABLED:

Icons on buttons DISABLED:

So maybe this is a Firefox issue?

Hm, what if you put this in your gtkrc

gtk-icon-sizes = "panel-menu=12,12:panel=12,12:gtk-button=12,12:gtk-large-toolbar=12,12"
gtk-button-images = 0
gtk-menu-images = 0

?

I already have that in there, except that I use 16 instead of 12.  Although I did try yours verbatim, but the icons are still there.

Add the following to your ~/.mozilla/firefox/profile/chrome/userChrome.css

/* Disable button icons. */
.button-box .button-icon {
    display: none;
}

PS. DOM Inspector is your friend.

Of course! I don't know how I forgot about DOM Inspector.  I kept trying to do this via GTK, when I could have done this your way and been done in seconds.  Thank you, they're finally gone now.

Still though, I wonder why Firefox ignores my preferences.

Firefox is just that way, using GTK+ in some areas but not others.  For example, tabs will be styled according to your GTK+ theme, but not on mouseover.

^ And the reason for that is Firefox is a XUL app not GTK (although it does a good job of imitating GTK).
