I've just found out that the new DOMInspector that has landed with the
nightly builds a few days ago is the perfect tool to find out the IDs of
the chrome elements of the browser UI. No hunting throught the dozens of
relevant XUL files anymore! :-)

To hide any UI element:
1) Start Mozilla (any nightly after 2001-11-29 or so...)
2) Tasks -> Tools -> DOM Inspector
3) Switch to DOM Inspector
4) File -> Inspect a Window -> <Title of the Navigator window>
5) Search -> Search Element by Click
6) Click anywhere within the Navigator window
7) Note down the id of the highlighted element in the DOM Inspector
8) Add 
   #<id>{ display:none; }
   to your userChrome.css file.

Hope this helps,
Jan
