Remove New Bookmark Sync Books Prompt

Hi,

I am running FF 84.0.1. I notice that every time I create a new bookmark by clicking the star icon the New Bookmark popup opens but the top section is covered buy a prompt reminding me to Sync your Bookmarks everywhere. I only use FF on this computer and am getting annoyed by this prompt.

Is there a way to turn it off?

Thank you in advance for your help!

What do you have set here? see screenshot

See also the Recommend settings in "Options/Preferences -> General -> Browsing".

Hi jonzn4SUSE,

I do not get that screen since I do not have or need to sync turned on. The prompt to sync bookmarks shows up on the top of the new bookmark edit button.

Thanks for more ideas

Hi Cor-el,

I am not getting this reminder as a recommendation. I have attached a copy of the Bookmark edit button so you can see what I am seeing.

Thanks for your thoughts

I would assume that this message won't come back if you click the close X. This is possibly a setting stored in a pref, so if this doesn't work then check for issues with preferences.

You can try to set this CFR (Contextual Feature Recommender) pref to false.

  • browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.asrouter.userprefs.cfr.features = false

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can click the button to "Accept the Risk and Continue".

Hi cor-el,

Clicking the x makes it go away for that instance but it comes back next time I create a new bookmark.

All my other prefs are being remembered perfectly. This came about 2 upgrades past. FF is starting to feel like Edge....

This is a CFR text like I wrote above:

Did you read the article I posted above about how to disable recommendations ?

Hi coe-el,

I made the change in about:config so now will see if that is permanent. That is sure a poor way continue to pester people and little help to easily find how to turn it off.

Thanks for your help
