Devs, please add back browser.bookmarks.showRecentlyBookmarked in about:config
I'm going to copy paste the text from another question as it seems to have been archived with no solution. This has apparently been a problem since at least 2018. It's really weird that the devs took away the options to remove recentlyBookmarked from the about:config. This might be a dealbreaker for me. Anyway the copy/paste:
"Hopefully there is enough info in the title about what I'm hoping someone can answer,
But if there isn't then here are the ssteps to observe the "problem"
1. Tap on the "hamburger" menu 2. Tap on the "Library" menu 3. Tap on the "Bookmarks" menu 4. Observe the bookmarks listed under the section "Recently Bookmarked"
Advice for previous Firefox versions suggested right clicking on the Library to get a context menu that allowed you to uncheck "Recently Bookmarked" Other advice suggested hacking "About:Config" to set the key "browser.bookmarks.showRecentlyBookmarked" to "False" is now defunct because the key no longer exists, and recreating the key in Firefox 80 doesn't appear to have an effect.
So, how do I clear the "Recently Bookmarked" foder, or turn it off?"

I can evidently delete that folder as shown by the screenshot attached but I don't know what the effect of that would be; likewise, I can delete the bookmarks in it. Either may delete the bookmarks where they appear in other folders.

You can't clear the content of the Recently Bookmarked as this folder shows the result of the places.sqlite database query. I.e. it is not a real existing folder, but its content changes with any action on bookmarks shown in the list. If you would remove (delete) an item then the next result from the query takes its place until you have removed all the bookmarks.
You can possibly use code in userChrome.css to hide such recent types of lists.

In Firefox 69 and later you need to set this pref to true on the about:config page to enable userChrome.css and userContent.css in the chrome folder.
