Even after Mozilla came out with GTK2 support, I was surprised to see that the browser still used the ugly toolbar grippers from Netscape 4. I found one solution to getting rid of them:

1) Locate classic.jar. Try /opt/mozilla/chrome or /usr/share/mozilla/chrome.

2) Make two copies of this file: 1 to work with and 1 as a backup.

3) In the directory that contains your working copy run:
$ unzip classic.jar
$ cd skin/classic/global

4) Open toolbar.css in your favorite text editor.

5) Around line #55 you should find the message: /* ::::: toolbargrippy ::::: */

6) Below this message, set the border-left, border-top, border-right, and border-bottom attributes from 1px to 0px.

7) Change the width attribute from 10px to 0px.

8) Comment out the padding and list-style-image lines.

9) Save and exit.

10) Change to the working directory and buid a new jar file:
$ jar cvf classic2.jar skin

11) Replace /opt/mozilla/chrome/classic.jar with this new copy.

Or, um, just move to Firefox. It doesn't have the grippy things.

:p
