Thank you very much! :D
Is there a possibility that TabMixPlus will feature an options switch for this in the future?

Firefox 49 final was supposed to be released today but it got pushed back.
Heads up as what was supposed to be the final version still has this bug on some systems.
I was able to replicate it on mine.

This code got rid of it but there is an extra separator. Anyone know how to get rid of the extra separator?


#BMB_bookmarksShowAllTop + menuseparator,
#bookmarksToolbarSeparator,
menuitem[label="Recently Bookmarked"] {
display: none !important;
}

menuitem[label="Recently Bookmarked"] + menuitem,
menuitem[label="Recently Bookmarked"] + menuitem + menuitem,
menuitem[label="Recently Bookmarked"] + menuitem + menuitem + menuitem,
menuitem[label="Recently Bookmarked"] + menuitem + menuitem + menuitem + menuitem,
menuitem[label="Recently Bookmarked"] + menuitem + menuitem + menuitem + menuitem + menuitem {
display: none !important;
}

Try this:

#bookmarksMenuItemsSeparator{
display: none !important;
}

That gives me an extra separator without it.

Bug 1248268 has long been fixed. You don't need any CSS to remove this.

First, upgrade to version 49.0.1 of Firefox. Then type in the address bar the words “about:config”; this will bring up a warning message that messing with the config file will void your warranty. There is no warranty; such a message is meant to keep you from changing the config file. Next, search in the search box the words “bookmark”; the line which says: “browser.bookmarks.showRecentlyBookmarked user set boolean”, change this from TRUE to FALSE by double-clicking on the line. Once it is set to FALSE, the Recently Bookmarked Section will be eliminated. And all will be right in the world of Firefox again. :lol:

Or just right-click on the menu and pick "Hide Recently Bookmarked".
