Facebook has become SLOW, SLOW, SLOW!!!
HIGHLIGHTS Sucks!!!
SUGGESTIONS Sucks!!!
It takes forever just to load the Facebook home page….But, it’s probably understandable…I’m only running over an 8mbps connection.

adblock type as is, without quotes
“#*(class*=UIStream)”

Simon, there’s no way that I know of to remove the heading without messing up other stuff. The two ways I tried were to hide the highlights based on position, but there’s no way to tell if there are friend suggestions so it won’t always work. Another way is to only hide it, based on position, if the class is UIHotStory, but that goes on to hide the events as well if there are friend suggestions. So yeah, the only way is to remove the actual highlights, not the heading.

Heath, as Mike said up the page, you need “Adblock Plus Element Hiding Helper”. AdBlock Plus on its own is just for URL’s, hence the error you’re getting. Alternatively you could get Stylish (userstyles.org/stylish) or Greasemonkey and install my style from http://userstyles.org/styles/15902 and that will get rid of the filters too, but you can easily take parts out of the code if you want the filters left in.

I detest YOUR NEW HIGHLIGHT. A friend of mine keeps looking up slutty pictures and they show in my highlight (ex. Hello Kitty–I hate that pic of a woman with her wares displayed–it’s not artistic at all. Vulgar and disgusting). PLEASE REMOVE HIGHLIGHT.

I may be a moron for asking this, but what exactly do I type into the filter line for Adblock Plus? I copied and pasted the lines from above, but it tells me its an invalid url. Any help please?

If you don’t want to use greasemonkey, and want a quick fix for removing highlights with adblock, use the following filter:

facebook.com#DIV(class*=UIHotStory)

It leaves the box heading, but this may be removable by a further filter?

@leeanne you can accomplish this by using a GreaseMonkey (FF) or GreaseKit (Safari) script from userscripts.org called Facebook Highlights Remove. It has the option to keep individual sections of the Highlights panel. I am using it now so it shows only Birthdays for Today and Tomorrow and People I may Know. HTH

It’s nice that you can kill the utterly useless and totally pointless Highlights section.

What I need next is to be able to see the Events and Birthdays on my homepage like I used to. What the hell, Facebook?
