Forum response for removing the Other Bookmarks folder from the end of the Bookmarks toolbar.

Starting in [[Find what version of Firefox you are using|Firefox version]] 85 (and for some Firefox 84 users selected for testing) an Other Bookmarks folder will appear at the end of the [[Bookmarks Toolbar - Display your favorite websites at the top of the Firefox window|Bookmarks toolbar]], if the Other Bookmarks folder in your Library contains any bookmarks. This was done to make it easier to find bookmarks stored in this folder. If you want to remove the Other Bookmarks folder from the Bookmarks toolbar, use one of these methods: '''Firefox 85 and above:''' #Right-click on a blank spot in the Bookmarks toolbar (or on the "Other Bookmarks" folder) to open the context menu. #;[[Image:Fx85BookmarksToolbarContextMenu]] #Click on the '''Show Other Bookmarks''' menu item to clear the check mark. '''Firefox 84:'''<br> The "Show Other Bookmarks" context menu item wasn't added until Firefox 85 but you can use the [[Configuration Editor for Firefox]] (about:config page) as a workaround: #In the address bar, type '''about:config''' and press the Enter key. #* If a warning page appears, click Accept the Risk and Continue. #Enter ''browser.toolbars.bookmarks.2h2020'' into the Search field. #Click the Toggle [[Image:Fx71aboutconfig-ToggleButton]] button next to this preference, to set it to '''false'''. #Restart Firefox. This will remove the Other Bookmarks folder from the Bookmarks Toolbar but it will also remove another bookmarking change made in Firefox 85, the option to only show the Bookmarks Toolbar on the [[About the New Tab page|New Tab page]]. To reverse this change, you can repeat the above steps and set this preference back to "true".
