i would like to be able to remove ANY bookmark at ANY time from the main menu, not the bookmark bar but the icons in the middle of screen when you open the browser

I cant delete half of them, they flicker for a millisecond and dont disappear. how? i feel like clicking dismiss should forcefully remove the icon. it doesn't and this just makes me a little angry.

add the ability to click on the 3 dots and click a new button called DELETE. it should fix the issue by removing it.

I assume that you are talking about the tiles on the Firefox Home page.

Those tiles are mainly filled from recent history apart from sites you have pinned and that have a pin icon attached. If you do not want Firefox to fill the tiles then you need to pin a website to each of the tiles, otherwise Firefox will fill the tile with another history item. Note that Dismiss makes Firefox add a hashed version of the URL to browser.newtabpage.blocked that you can find on the about:config page, so if you have dismissed a lot of websites then this pref likely has a very large value, "Delete from History" doesn't do this.

Changes made manually on the Firefox Home page are stored in prefs that you can find on the about:config page.
