I want to remove "recently bookmarked" from the combined library. Weather for christmas gift ideas, anniversary ideas, or items I don't want my kids to know.

I set my bookmarks tab up. I have it organized. When I open the combined library button, not only are my bookmarks all gone, but there is a recently bookmarked tab. I want that gone. For gift ideas I like to bookmark ideas I find and save them for later. If my wife or kids find the bookmark in recently bookmarked tabs, the surprise is gone. I also bookmark my kids social media. They delete the bookmark if they see it, and I want to be able to check up on them. Lastly, my wife and I do use some more adult featured items. I bought her an item from a site, and bookmarked the site. Later, I had to explain what it was to a kid who clicked on it in recently bookmarked tabs. I had hid it well enough in my bookmarks, but I can't hide this tab! I can't remove it, as it's in the options menu.

I've tried right clicking, it does nothing, no menu opens.

I've trying going into the config, and recently bookmarks is false.

The recently bookmarked tab is still there. I want it gone. My kids are tech savvy, they will find it again if it's not turned off. I'm tired of having to write down the addresses BY HAND in order to keep the surprise hidden. I don't want my wife and my personal matters to be so easily visible. I use Firefox Quantum, and I like that all my devices are synced. There has to be a way to turn this off.
