Removing a tag from 'Recent Tags'

Post by tranle »

Is there a way to remove a tag entry from the 'Recent Tags' bookmarks folder ?
even removing all the bookmarks with the tag, does not seems to remove the entry in 'Recent Tags'

Thanks.

Is the recent tags folder even supported?
Smart Bookmarks folders are no longer created in new Firefox profiles starting with Firefox version 63.

The browser.places.smartBookmarksVersion pref was removed as well.

Here is how to create the recent tags folder in the release build using a bookmarks.html file.

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1>
<!-- This is an automatically generated file.

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<TITLE>Bookmarks</TITLE>
<H1>Bookmarks</H1>
<DL><p>
    <DT><H3>Smart Bookmarks</H3>
    <DL><p>
        <DT><A HREF="place:type=6&sort=14&maxresults=10">Recent Tags</A>
    </DL><p>
</DL><p>

I created the Alpha, Beta and Gamma tags with a different bookmark each in a fresh profile.

The Recent Tags > Alpha folder is not removed when I uncheck the Alpha tag in the Edit bookmark dialog.
The Recent Tags > Beta folder is removed when I uncheck the Beta tag in the Edit bookmark dialog.
The Recent Tags > Gamma folder is removed when I uncheck the Gamma tag in the Edit bookmark dialog.

Only the first created folder is not removed.
