I think this category appears if you set up Firefox Sync and enable bookmark sync between Firefox for Windows at at least one mobile version. However, possibly Sync would add it even without a mobile device; I haven't tested that.
Do you want to disable bookmark sync? See: How do I choose what information to sync on Firefox?
If you don't want to disable bookmark sync or remove the mobile device from the mix, it will keep coming back (browser.bookmarks.showMobileBookmarks will keep changing back to true) every time Firefox syncs.
Where exactly do you see Mobile Bookmarks that you do not want to see it? There is a brute force method to hide stuff from various menus, using custom style rules in a userChrome.css file. The details will depend on what needs hidden where.
You probably need to use an autoconfig.cfg file to lock browser.bookmarks.showMobileBookmarks to false to hide the mobile bookmarks section.
// first line in autoconfig.cfg is a comment
lockPref("browser.bookmarks.showMobileBookmarks", false);- /questions/1295347 Can you somehow (permanently) hide the "mobile bookmarks" folder on PC?
