1. Type "about:config" in address bar. Tell it you'll be careful, etc. 2. Search for "browser.bookmarks.showRecentlyBookmarked" in the config parameters and then double-click on it's "Value" field so it switches from "true" to "false". 3. There is no step 3. N.B. The above works with FF 49.0, don't know if it's applicable to earlier versions or not.

This worked flawlessly! Yet another pointless feature added to Firefox that no one asked for.

What options are in that right click menu on mac David S.? Mine has options such as new seperator, and open in new tab. Perhaps mac doesn't allow firefox to change the right click menu of such a menu, and you don't have any of these options either?

Right-clicking in the Bookmarks menu acts like a left-click, AFAIK this is standard behaviour for all app menus on a Mac. That's why this whole right-click trick only works on a Mac if you use the bookmarks star-thingy in the Firefox toolbar.

Hi David S., I think on Mac right-click is replaced by Ctrl+click and if someone would give me a Mac I would be happy to test that myself.

On a Mac right-clicking and ctrl-clicking do exactly the same thing (ctrl-click is a hangover from the olden days of single-button mice).

Yeah, I've done more testing and that's definitely it - on a Mac you have to open the list of bookmarks using the Bookmarks "star" tool in the toolbar, right click on the gray text in there and that pops up the menu option to hide recently bookmarked. If you right-click on the gray text from the app's normal Bookmarks menu nothing happens. Sigh.

I have been trying to hide recently for 1 hour, this is the only solution that worked Thanks Gord

1. Type “about:config” in the Address Bar & accept the warranty warning… 2. Type recentlyBookmarked 3. Toggle Value “browser.bookmarks.showRecentlyBookmarked” to FALSE …worked sweetly for me!!!!
