First, thing’s first. If you’re not using the Nightly Tester Tools extension, then something else is causing the Build number to show up, and I can’t help you. But if you are, go to the Tools menu and then to Add-ons. Find the Nightly Tester Tools extension and click on the Options button.

Make sure that you’re in the Titlebar section of the Nightly Tester Options. By default, the extension is set to use a custom title, and you can see that the custom title template is set to display the build number. If you would like to display some custom information in the title bar, there are several templates you can use. Otherwise, just remove the check mark to display the default title in the title bar.

The changes will be immediate. No restart of Firefox required!

I’ve been spending a lot of time on The Digital Music Weblog lately, and it has inadvertently turned me into a crusader against DRM. There are simply too many arguments against it, and too few in its favor. I completely understand and agree with the recording industry’s need to protect its property, but the measures it is currently taking to do so seem only to molest and corrupt. DRM creates headaches for honest, paying customers and does absolutely nothing to thwart the nefarious intentions of the dishonest.

Take your average brick and mortar store. Sure, they’ll have security measures in place to prevent theft. But the second those security measures make it painful for the non-thieves to shop (let alone use the products once they’ve taken them home), you can bet your buttons that customers are going to start going elsewhere. And if they find a more pleasant shopping experience elsewhere, they have no reason to go back to the first store. Case in point: Wil Wheaton. If I were in Wil Wheaton’s shoes, I’m sure I’d make the same vow he did: never to purchase from the iTunes Music Store again.
