Can I remove 1-4 from the bookmarks menu completely? 1.View bookmarks sidebar 2.Show all bookmarks 3.Bookmarks toolbar 4.Other bookmarks

I have a long bookmarks list (all folders with bookmarks within those) If I could remove those four items completely it would really help.

There is no built-in way to do that, but using either an add-on or custom style rule, you probably could hide them.

As an example of a custom style rule: 

/* Hide items on toolbar button Bookmarks Menu */
/* View Bookmarks Sidebar & Show All Bookmarks */
#BMB_bookmarksPopup #BMB_viewBookmarksSidebar, 
#BMB_bookmarksPopup #BMB_bookmarksShowAllTop,
#BMB_bookmarksPopup #BMB_bookmarksShowAllTop + menuseparator { 
  display: none !important;
}
/* Bookmarks Toolbar fly-out & Other Bookmarks fly-out */
#BMB_bookmarksPopup #BMB_bookmarksToolbar, 
#BMB_bookmarksPopup #BMB_unsortedBookmarks,
#BMB_bookmarksPopup #BMB_unsortedBookmarks + menuseparator { 
  display: none !important;
}

Custom style rules can be applied to Firefox's interface using either the Stylish extension or a userChrome.css file. Stylish is easier, so let me describe that option.

(A) Install the Stylish extension from the Mozilla Add-ons site: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/stylish/

(B) Before Stylish is activated, you'll need to restart Firefox (Firefox should display a link for that purpose)

(C) Create a new blank rule using the Stylish "S" icon on the toolbar -- click the icon > Write new style > Blank Style

If the icon does not appear, you can create a new blank rule from the Add-ons page. Either:

  • Ctrl+Shift+a (Mac: Command+Shift+a)
  • "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons

In the left column, click User styles, then above the (empty) list, click the Write New Style button.

(D) Firefox should open a new tab for editing, with the cursor in a large area to the right of a 1. Paste in the rule from earlier in this reply, click Preview, then test the Bookmarks Menu button.

Does it work?

(E) Assuming it works the way you want, click in the space above the code (next to Name:) and type in a name like Bookmarks Menu Hide Top Items and click the Save button. You can close this tab now.
