<h1>How to remove the select arrow in Firefox</h1>

<select>
    <option>Firefox</option>
    <option>Chrome</option>
    <option>Internet Explorer</option>
    <option>Safari</option>
</select>













<h2>It's as <del>hacky</del> simple as that:</h2>

<ol>
    <li>Set <code>-prefix-appearance</code> to none to remove the styles;</li>
    <li>Use <code>text-indent</code> to "push" the content a bit to the right;</li>
    <li>Finally, set <code>text-overflow</code> to an empty string. Everything that extends beyond it's width will become... nothing! <strong>And that includes the arrow.</strong></li>
</ol>

<small>Thanks <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=649849#c85">Binyamin</a> for improving the indentation size</small>

CSS

select {
    -moz-appearance: none;
    text-indent: 0.01px;
    text-overflow: '';
}












/*
## Chrome ##
    select {
        -webkit-appearance: none;
    }

## IE10 ##
    select::-ms-expand {
        display: none;
    }

## IE < 10 ##
Probably position:absolute; and clip:rect; would do the trick
