How do I prevent recent history from appearing in my bookmarks bar?

Recent history keeps appearing in my bookmarks bar. I delete the items one by one but then new ones appear. How do I prevent this?

You can only create a bookmark on the Bookmarks Toolbar if you would drag the tab (or the Control Center 'i' icon) to this toolbar. Other ways to create a bookmark will create a new bookmark in the "Other Bookmarks" folder like posted above.

Well, that's the question. I'm seeing some of the recent history appear in the book marks tool bar. I'm not book marking them by any intentional method. I've cleared out all the book marks in fire fox and yet recent history sometimes appears in the book marks tool bar.
