Is this about the Recommendations tab on the about:addons page?

You can create a new Boolean pref on the about:config page and set its value to false.

• extensions.getAddons.showPane = false

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.

No, that's not the one. As the image shows:

Hamburger menu -> customize -> themes button (bottom left corner)

There's a box labelled "Recommanded" that I would like to remove.

Normally there is a list of 3-4 themes under it but I have already removed the list since it's just a simple hot link in the "about:config" menu.

There is no easy way to remove items in the list. The Recommneded label and the footer have an id/ To hide specific items in the list you need to provide their label name or at least the first letters.

#customization-lwtheme-menu-recommended,
#customization-lwtheme-menu-footer,
.customization-lwtheme-menu-theme[label^="<label name>"]{
 display:none!important;
}

Hello Avengement,

I don't know what "simple hot link" you are referring to, but it should be these :

extensions.htmlaboutaddons.discover.enabled and extensions.htmlaboutaddons.recommendations.enabled

(and of course set both values to false)

Not only will that remove the "Recommended" from "about:addons", but you won't see it on the Customize page anymore either.

Both of those booleans do not exist but when I manually added them with the false flag there was no change regarding what I was looking for.

Regarding the list of recommended themes they are easily removed once the following is cleared:

lightweightThemes.recommendedThemes,

However that still leaves the "Recommended" text box that I was trying to get rid of.

The top line solved the problem.

Thanks again cor-el.

That's because you're using Firefox version 67.0 - any particular reason why you haven't updated ?

Note that this thread is about the Customize palette window and not about the about:addons page.

Noted. Like I said in my first post : changing those two prefs will also remove the "Recommended" from the Customize palette. But only with Firefox 68+ ....
