The auto-refreshing status ticker in the sidebar of the new Facebook layout is distracting. How do I remove it?
How do I disable the new Facebook ticker in the sidebar?

Facebook doesn't allow you to disable the ticker - it only allows you to make it smaller:You can't close ticker, but you can make it smaller by moving the horizontal bar between ticker and chat. Slide the bar up to hide ticker and make your chat list longer. Pull the bar down to show more of the ticker and hide chat.From the Facebook help page.However, you can install a Greasemonkey script, or Chrome extension to hide it:Facebook Ticker Remover Greasemonkey script;Hide Facebook SideBar Ticker Chrome extension.UPDATED: As per Kered Negah's answer below, Facebook have implemented a Hide Ticker / Show Ticker function. Fantastic!https://webapps.stackexchange.com/a/31049/7932
