I don't like the tabs. Is there a way to eliminate them?

Maybe I'm missing something; what do you use them for?

Here's a simple way to remove the tabs in Firefox (it should also work in Opera somehow):

Add this to userContent.css in your Firefox profile. The file doesn't exist by default, so you should create it in C:/Documents and Settings/(Username)/ Application Data/Mozilla/Firefox/ Profiles/(profile name)/chrome.

[put at-character here]namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
[put at-character here]-moz-document url-prefix(http://www.google.com/ig) {
#tabs {display:none;}
}

Then restart Firefox.

You can also use the co-branded Google pages listed here:

I have all six tabs used.

Main; just has gmail-bookmarks-and headlines for CNN and FoxSports.

Misc; other things like weather-driving direc-docs-movie times.

News- 12 seperate RSS feeds

Sports- same as News

Tech- same as News

Webcams- cams from all over the world.

This does not work for me.

1.There is an example .css file in my profile, should I copy this information into that?

2. If not, how do I create a new one of these files

3. Do I copy this information verbatim, or do I need to add something specific to my user profile?

Thanks.

Add this to userContent.css in your Firefox profile. The file doesn't exist by default, so you should create it in C:/Documents and Settings/(Username)/ Application Data/Mozilla/Firefox/ Profiles/(profile name)/chrome.

[put at-character here]namespace url(w3.org/1999/xhtml);
[put at-character here]-moz-document url-prefix(google.com/ig) {
#tabs {display:none;}
}

Then restart Firefox.

Create userContent.css in that folder. Add those 4 lines (instead of [put at-character here], put the at character).

How do I create the usercontent.css document?
