How do I hide recently bookmarked in the Bookmark drop down?

more options

I've searched and searched and "about.config" does not show an option to Hide in RecentlyBookmarked. There are no other options.

You can do this with a userChrome.css, I'd recommend checking out www.reddit.com/r/firefoxcss for some guides or information there.

Warning: Customizing Firefox through CSS and JS tweaks like userChrome.css isn't officially supported by Mozilla. Use at your own risk. Your customization will likely break in the future, such as when new Firefox releases come out. This means you'll need to re-apply and tweak your customization after each release.

Hello blakeheim,

This may not be what you want, but I deleted almost every item from the bookmark drop down and went to the Library (Ctrl + Shift + B); there I highlighted what I wanted to delete; clicked on "Organize" (upper left corner) and clicked "Delete".

So, just in case you don't want to just hide the "Recently Bookmarked", and want to delete it - this is what you could do ....

But Eve's suggestion you can always undo, in case you want the Recently Bookmarked back.

I just want to hide the "Recent". I don't need to see it. Can't believe there isn't an easier option. If I delete what's there, it deletes from my Bookmarks altogether. I don't want that.

I think that this code for userChrome.css will still work.

In Firefox 69 and later you need to set this pref to true on the about:config page to enable userChrome.css and userContent.css in the chrome folder.

Hi,

First open the Firefox browser and right click on the menu bar and select the Library button. Then click on the bookmarks and go to bookmarking tools. There you can hide or view the bookmarks toolbar.
