Can I disable/remove the triangle button on location bar (one between the Star and the Refresh buttons) without disabling history suggestions when entering URL?
I like having the history and favourite suggestions when I am typing an address manually I've visited before. However, I hate that button on the address bar and I really want to find a way to get rid of it. The only way I've found to disable the button is by turning off the history and favourite suggestions, but that would be a very poor option because then I would have to type the full URL every time I want to go to one of the sites I've visited before. The triangle button that shows a big drop-down menu of previously visited sites (which seem to be picked at random by Firefox) is the most annoying thing because I find myself clicking the button and going to one of those sites for no reason sometimes which makes me waste my time... So somebody tell me how to get rid of this button without disabling the history suggestions when entering url addresses. That would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Install the Stylish extension
Then create a new style, paste the following in it, and save it.
@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul); .urlbar-history-dropmarker { display: none !important }
Alternatively, you can use the above style in the userChrome.css file instead. This is a more complicated method. Among the pitfalls of using this second method: the first line of the style should only appear in that file once (so if it's already there, omit it) and Firefox must be restarted for the change to take effect. More details can be found in the Mozillazine knowledgebase article below.
That drop down list shows a list of URL that you've typed or pasted in the location bar, sorted by frecency (most visited typed).
