Remove "Search Bookmarks" entry from the Bookmarks menu
Hello wise people,
can you please tell me how to remove the new "Search Bookmarks" entry in the Bookmarks menu that was introduced with Firefox 114?
I'm pretty sure it needs to be in between this
/* Bookmark menu entries */
{
display: none !important; }
but I don't know how what the entry is called
Thank you in advance.

That would be #BMB_searchBookmarks

There is a "Search bookmarks" menu item in the hamburger button as well.

Not knowing what #BMB_searchBookmarks means, how do I remove the Search Bookmarks from the Bookmarks Menu please (not the hamburger menu)?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thanks, but unfortunately that does not work.
Here is my current userChrome.css for information:

padding-block: 1px !important;
}
:root {
--arrowpanel-menuitem-padding: 1px 1px !important;

Re: Remove "Search Bookmarks" entry from the Bookmarks menu
Try the #menu_searchBookmarks selector.

Not tested since I'm still using Firefox 115.0.3. The `About Mozilla Firefox` dialog says Firefox is up to date.

Re: Remove "Search Bookmarks" entry from the Bookmarks menu
Hello everyone - I'm a bit lost on this thread/topic, so I'm asking for the noob version, please.
I have been chasing this problem down for a while and searched almost everywhere for a config option or settings choice. No such luck. I'm glad to find others asking the same thing: How do I get rid of the "search bookmarks" that appears in the Bookmarks drop down menu now? It shows the last 10 things that I bookmarked, regardless of age. If I remove those bookmarks by deleting them, then it goes back further and finds 10 others. I do not want this command or any bookmarks to show up at all in this search box.
The details I've read ... well, they confuse me further and I don't know how to proceed.
Some background details:
I am using FF 116 on a Windows box.
I see this problem has been around for a while prior to the current rev so I hope a working solution is still available.
A LOT of info for FF revs that are super old and no longer apply. I need a current rev solution.
I do not have a .../FFprofile/chrome folder
I do not have a userChrome.css file - do I need these moving forward or has that now changed as well?
Do I have to create the folder and copy and paste something into it? I wasn't sure but one of the links previous directs us to nagivator-toolbox for an entire page of code (https://searchfox.org/mozilla-release/s ... .xhtml#628) and I do not speak that language. It is not clear if some/all of that is optional and I only need a portion?
I need some simple steps and direction, and I turn to the crowd here (finally).
Please be kind to the noob on this topic. Can I get a simple and understandable response?
