When you go into 'Manage Bookmarks' and click on 'Import/Backup Bookmarks' is there a way to clear out the list of files listed when you hover over 'Restore ->' which brings up the list of recent bookmark files that you have restored?

Hi Artoo, the Restore list should show available automatic bookmark backups. Do you want to erase the backups, or reduce the number of backups Firefox makes?

The automatically created backups are placed in the bookmarkbackups folder in the Firefox profile folder, so you can remove the files in this folder to cleanup the list.

You can use the button in "Help -> More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page (Root directory).
