i don't want that button, I've already managed to remove the 3 dots page actions button near it using userChrome.css code but I've found no code for this one

Are you referring to the forward and back arrow? If yes, you can add the following code snippet to your userChrome.css:

#back-button, #forward-button { display: none; }

Note: Keep in mind that userChrome.css isn't officially supported and that it can break when you update to a newer Firefox version.

I think it's this one:

<xul:image anonid="historydropmarker" class="urlbar-history-dropmarker urlbar-icon chromeclass-toolbar-additional" tooltiptext="Show history"/>

You could try: 

#urlbar .urlbar-history-dropmarker {
  display: none !important;
}

By the way, what is your rule for the Page Actions menu button? It seems to have left a large gap. If you are using visibility: hidden that doesn't collapse the space an element occupies. You can instead use visibility: collapse or display: none to recover that space.
