Firefox v5.0.1 The menu bar has: "File", "Edit", "View", "History", "Bookmarks", etc. How do I hide the "Bookmarks" item? I have the add-on PLAINOLDFAVORITES installed and I forgot how with v3.6.18.

Thanks much

IIRC, there is s preference in the PlainOld Favorites options to hide the Bookmarks menu item on the Menu Bar.

So far I have been unable to locate any PLAINOLDFAVORITES options or preferences. Where are they? Also, to the other answer, "Bookmarks" is a Firefox menu item, not a toolbar or p/o any toolbar. When I hid it before it was just a manner of checking a box.
