How do I delete the "bookmarks" folder from my bookmark toolbar?

For some reason, besides my normal drop-down menu at the top of the screen, I now have an extra bookmarks folder stored directly in my bookmarks toolbar. This is really annoying; the bookmarks toolbar is there for a reason, and the reason is to keep my most commonly used bookmarks more available than the others. I really want to delete the bookmarks folder from the toolbar and only be able to access it through the drop-down menu (after "file," "edit," "view," "history"... "bookmarks"!) instead of pointlessly also having it in my bookmarks toolbar. I've tried clicking on it, right-clicking on it, clicking and holding, opening up "view all bookmarks" and finding it – nowhere is there a simple "delete" option. Please tell me how I can do this!

This seems to address my problem, but unfortunately I haven't the foggiest idea how to do something like editing code – I'm not that much of a "tech person." How does access the place where you can change the code?

You can install this extension to make it easier to edit userChrome.css:

The file needs to have this code: 


@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

#personal-bookmarks #bookmarks-menu-button { display:none !important; }

You can reach the profile folder this way:

  • Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder

The file userChrome.css needs to be in the chrome folder in the Firefox Profile Folder, so if the chrome folder is missing then you need to create a folder with the name chrome.
