Hello, it's your default Bookmarks toolbar.

  • To delete any component from bookmarks, right click on that item. Then select Delete.
  • To remove the entire toolbar:
    • From menubar go to View (if you can't see the menubar at the top, just press Alt from keyboard)
    • From the View menu, move your cursor over Toolbars and uncheck your Bookmarks Toolbar.

  • "Most Visited" and "Recently Bookmarked" and "Recent Tags" are examples of so called Smart Bookmarks folders and are not real existing folders.
  • Smart folders show a list created by a query of the places.sqlite database that stores bookmarks and history in Firefox.
  • Smart folder lists show a maximum of 10 entries by default.
  • Bookmarks and history items that show up in a smart folder list are stored elsewhere in another folder and any changes made are applied to the real bookmark or history item.
