Note: These instructions apply to Firefox desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) version 109 and later. If you’re using Firefox for Android or iOS, see Customize Firefox Home on iOS or Customize the Firefox home screen for Android.

- Move bookmarks bar to side/top: Only top placement is supported; side placement requires add-ons.
- Hide “Share Feedback” icon: Drag it to overflow menu or remove it in Customize Toolbar.
- Restore refresh button: Drag it from the Customize Toolbar palette to the left of the address bar.
- Clear “Recent Bookmarks” list: Right-click a bookmark and choose ; there’s no bulk hide option without an add-on.
