OMG!  Sorry, I didn't realize you were getting the hollow squares.  You must
be opening it with notepad and notepad does not open those files correctly.
You probably also see the whole file on one line when you turn wordwrap off.
OK, here is the fix for you....

1) Copy the userChrome-example.css file to userChrome.css 
2) Right-click userChrome.css, choose Open With, then Wordpad
3) Now you will see the file correctly broken up by lines and without the
squares
4) Then add the lines that Gman gave you earlier.
5) Save file
6) Close all open FireFox's and run FireFox again.

Sorry for the confusion, but power users only see Notepad on other peoples
PC's.  ;)

Seems I'm going to have to wait until my next complete reformat of the
system; possibly there is some file missing somewhere that is preventing the
removal of the star. I copied the userChrome-example file giving it the
userChrome.css name giving me now three files in the Chrome folder:
userChrome.css, userChrome-example, and userContent-example.
And in this new userChrome.css file I added the three lines at the end (as
you can see below; the only difference is that the original has squares in
different locations). The original has the line: 

@namespace
url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul";); 

just the way you see it. Because I've noticed various formats in your email
postings, I tried various changes in the coding of that line: putting
brackets (less than, greater than symbols) < > on the outside of the quotes,
putting them inside the quotes ... all to no avail, the star would still
remain in the Firefox browser. I also removed and then re-installed Firefox
trying to give it a fresh start, and no change resulted. I guess that's the
way the cookie crumbles --- Harold

CONTENTS OF THE USERCHROME.CSS FILE (condensed, and without the squares)
/* * Edit this file and copy it as userChrome.css into your *
profile-directory/chrome/ */ 
/* * This file can be used to customize the look of Mozilla's user interface
* You should consider using !important on rules which you want to override
default settings. */ 
/* * Do not remove the @namespace line -- it's required for correct
functioning */
@namespace
url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul";); 
/* set default namespace to XUL */
/* * Some possible accessibility enhancements: */
/* * Make all the default font sizes 20 pt: * * * { *   font-size: 20pt
!important * } */
/* * Make menu items in particular 15 pt instead of the default size: * *
menupopup > * { *   font-size: 15pt ! important * } */
/* * Give the Location (URL) Bar a fixed-width font * * #urlbar { *
font-family: monospace !important; * } */
/* * Eliminate the throbber and its annoying movement: * * #throbber-box { *
display: none !important; * } */
/* * For more examples see http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html */
 /* Remove the Bookmark star */ 
#star-button { 
display: none !important; }
