Revision Content
Starting in Firefox version 85 (and in Firefox 84 for a limited set of users), an Other Bookmarks folder will appear at the end of the Bookmarks toolbar if the Other Bookmarks folder in your Library contains any bookmarks. This was done to make it easier to find bookmarks stored in this folder.
If you want to remove the Other Bookmarks folder from the Bookmarks toolbar, use one of these methods:
Firefox 85 and above
- Right-clickHold down the Control key while you click
on a blank spot in the Bookmarks toolbar (or on the "Other Bookmarks" folder) to open the context menu.
- Click on the Show Other Bookmarks menu item to clear the check mark.
Firefox 84
The "Show Other Bookmarks" context menu item wasn't added until Firefox 85 but you can use the Configuration Editor (about:config page) as a workaround:
- Type about:config in the address bar and press EnterReturn.
A warning page may appear. Click to go to the about:config page. - Enter browser.toolbars.bookmarks.2h2020 into the Search field.
- Click the Toggle
button next to this preference, to set it to false.
- Restart Firefox.
This will remove the Other Bookmarks folder from the Bookmarks Toolbar but it will also remove another bookmarking change, the option to only show the Bookmarks Toolbar on the New Tab page. You can set this preference back to "true" by repeating the above steps.
