How Do I Shrink Recent Bookmarks Dropdown List?

more options

How Do I Shrink Recent Bookmarks Dropdown List ? I don't NEED or WANT to see a list of ALL my "RECENT" (unorganized) bookmarks. I can't find an option to activate the "dropdown" function in either main preferences or menu customizing. If I "remove" them from the list, they are also removed from where they were saved as a bookmark. If the answer is, "This can't be done.", then I am DONE WITH FIREFOX.

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

Is this the list that appears if you click:

"3-bar" menu button > Bookmarks

There is no built-in way to blank out the list there, but there are more useful ways to access your bookmarks:

(1) Optional Bookmarks Menu button for the main toolbar

Looks like and available in the Customize panel. See: Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars.

(2) Classic top menu bar (File, Edit, View...)

Available using the Toolbars selector in Customize.


It actually is possible to hide menu contents using the community-supported (i.e., unofficial) workaround of a userChrome.css file, but perhaps if you have more organized access to your bookmarks using one of the above, then this isn't worth the additional effort.
