On Firefox to the right side of the page, there is a little star, and when you move your mouse on it, it will say, bookmark this page. Next to the star is a little icon, that says show your bookmarks. So, when I use to click on that icon, it would say most recent bookmarks, along with bookmarks toolbar, and unsorted bookmarks. I would like to know what happened to the icon that said, most recent bookmarks, or recently added bookmarks.

I would appreciate any help in this matter.

Many thanks.

Enjoy your day!

See:


  • "Most Visited" and "Recently Bookmarked" and "Recent Tags" are examples of so called Smart Bookmarks folders and are not real existing folders.
  • Smart folders show a list created by a query of the places.sqlite database that stores bookmarks and history in Firefox.
  • Smart folder lists show a maximum of 10 entries by default.
  • Bookmarks and history items that show up in a smart folder list are stored elsewhere in another folder and any changes made are applied to the real bookmark or history item.
  • If you add a new bookmark or visit a website then a new item is added at the top and the entry at the bottom disappears from that list.
  • Items that disappear from the list are not gone, but merely do not show up anymore in that list.
  • Actions like copy & paste or delete that you perform on bookmarks in such a list are done on the original bookmark.
