Why do I suddenly have an additional Manage Bookmarks?

more options

It just showed up today at the bottom of "Show your bookmarks". Was there an update or have I accidentally used a shortcut of some kind? Can I remove it? Firefox is up to date.

Thanks in advance

WARNING: This script is not provided by Mozilla and is not officially supported Creating a userChrome.css file and other ways of customizing Firefox that are not exposed in the interface are there for developers, not end-users. If it were intended for end-users, you would see a menu option or checkbox; you wouldn't have to hack a text file in a hidden location.

What this means is that even though the functionality you want is no longer supported, a third-party has found a way to do it using the CSS file. If it breaks in new versions, you will need to contact the person who provided the script.

You can add CSS code to the userChrome.css file to hide that second menu item.

Thanks a bunch, that worked.

Do you have any idea why this happened in the first place? Just so I can prevent it from happening again.
