Shouldn't the "Recently Bookmarked" list be optional?
Firefox version 57 Library includes a Library feature, which automatically collects and lists 40-some recent bookmarks. It is unaffected by deleting history. In Customize Options you can drag the Library icon out of the toolbar and replace it with the Bookmarks icon, but just go to Menu > Library and there it is again. It's redundant anyway, if I want recent bookmarks I can find them at the bottom of the regular old Bookmarks list till I sort them. Recently Bookmarked is bad for privacy if you share the computer. All your medical and financial sites are there...

LOL. ya ...... I do not know what happens if try and right click and delete that. The menu comes up and it is a option but since I use that once in a while...
That is why your suppose to make a different profile for each user so they each ++ have own space...own bookmarks..... Been years since I did that I think you can password protect that. As for going into the guts and looking ya is possible... https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
If wait long enough some one might know if there is a about: link to the right place to disable that if it has it's own line. Seems like a waste to give it a line so...but anything is possible.
Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
I think the currently available workaround is to blank that area of the Library menu, Bookmarks submenu, using a custom style rule.
The first rule hides the Recently Bookmarked heading and list. The second hides any bookmarks listed under Recent Highlights -- you may not care about those, but I added it just in case. The attached screenshot is from Firefox 59 (test version available as "Nightly") but I think it should also work in Firefox 57.
/* Library Button > Bookmarks: Hide "Recently Bookmarked" */
#PanelUI-bookmarks #panelMenu_recentBookmarks,
#PanelUI-bookmarks #panelMenu_bookmarksMenu {
display: none !important;
}
/* Library button: Hide Bookmarks in "Recent Highlights" */
#appMenu-library-recentHighlights [type="highlight-bookmark"] {
display: none !important;
}
Custom style rules can be applied to Firefox's user interface using a userChrome.css file. If you haven't created one before, it's a 5-10 minute project to get it all set up. This article should help: https://www.userchrome.org/how-create-userchrome-css.html
