I downloaded a userscript to get rid of the Google left hand bar. It actually shifts the navigation bar to the far right, but there's a variation mentioned that gets rid of the bar altogether but I don't know how insert the change.

Here's what it says:

///////////////////////////////////////////////////
// change false to true in the following lines
// to hide the new sidebar or the sponsored links
var removeSidebarCompletely = false;
var removeSponsoredLinks = true;
///////////////////////////////////////////////////

Where do I make the change this change--in the script, and if so, how? I went into about:config in FF but there was no options for that.

If anyone could point me in the right direction I'd be grateful.

1. Firefox menu "Tools / Add-ons", tab "User Scripts".
2. Find the script in the list, right click it and select "Edit" from the context menu
3. Change the code in your editor, save it
4. Reload the page, the script changes will become effective
