'recent bookmarks' is a software folder, not a physical one. It's part of history (kind of).

Open the Bookmarks Manager and move that to the bottom of the list.

Hmmmmm I don't see it?

It's already at the bottom of the list.

Thank you for the screenshot. For the lists at --

  • "Library" toolbar button > Bookmarks
  • "3-bar" menu button > Bookmarks

-- there is no built-in way to blank them. Fortunately, there are more useful ways to access your bookmarks:

(1) Optional Bookmarks Menu button for the main toolbar

Looks like and available in the Customize panel. See: Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars.

(2) Classic top menu bar (File, Edit, View...)

Available using the Toolbars selector in Customize.


It actually is possible to hide menu contents using the community-supported (i.e., unofficial) workaround of a userChrome.css file, but perhaps if you have more organized access to your bookmarks using one of the above, then this isn't worth the additional effort?

That's in my screenshot :) and looks like I could use that as wanted/needed

Thanks
