Remove Facebook suggestions
One of the Facebook annoyances that cannot be disabled is the list of people that you don’t want to friend and whose walls you don’t want to write on that is in the the top right corner of its front page.
It’s easy to hide this impertinent design element.
On Firefox, you should install the Stylish extension.
On other browsers, you should follow the respective instructions.
Once you have Stylish installed:
1. Go to Facebook
2. Click on the Stylish icon in the status bar
3. Choose Write new style > For facebook.com
In the dialog:
1. Name the new style “Facebook”
2. Paste in the following code:
#pymk_hp_box {
display:none !important;
}
You should be able to save now and no longer be subjected to the Facebook Suggestions box. Unfortunately, this code may not survive the inevitable Facebook layout change.
Technical note: The wrapping code that you see in the screenshot above was generated by Stylish and will likely only work in Firefox. If you wish to adapt it in a different browser, you may want to replace the @-moz-document with @-o-document (for Opera), @-webkit-document (for Safari and Chrome), or @document once CSS3 is ratified and vendor-specific implementations merge.
