How do I turn off or get rid of "Recently bookmarked" that are being displayed in my drop down menu? I don't want them to be displayed.
I'm running Mac os 10.12 and firefox 49.0.1
After installing mac os 10.12 this feature of "Recently Bookmarked" feature showed up in firefox when I use the "Bookmarks" drop down menu. If I have someone else using my computer, I don't want the seeing what I have recently bookmarked.
If I can't change this I will stop using firefox.

Hi Rogerddoger, Firefox has always had a Recently Bookmarked folder but the section near the top of the menu is new in Firefox 49.
You can hide the gray heading Recently Bookmarked and following five bookmarks using one of these methods (apparently not all work on Mac):
(1) Context Menu
Right-click the "Recently Bookmarked" text and choose Hide Recently Bookmarked from the bottom of the right-click context menu
Note: A user reported this doesn't work on the Bookmarks Menu on the main menu bar on Mac, only the bookmarks menu that drops from the toolbar button.
(2) Directly Edit a Preference
The menu item switches a hidden preference from true to false, and you can do that directly as follows:
(A) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful.
(B) In the search box above the list, type or paste book and pause while the list is filtered
(C) Double-click the browser.bookmarks.showRecentlyBookmarked preference to switch the value from true to false

Thank you. The right clicking didn't work on my Mac. I had to use your second solution. Cheers Roger
