(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:56.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.0

Steps to reproduce:

Have Firefox on both my laptop PC (Windows 10 Creators) and my iMac (OSX). Created Firefox sync account. New "Mobile Bookmarks" folder was created on both machines. Tried using "about:config" to turn off "Mobil Bookmarks" folder, but the setting doesn't stick. On the Windows laptop this fix works: userChrome.css file created in a folder named chrome in profile folder.

/* Hide Mobile Bookmarks on menus */
#BMB_mobileBookmarks, #menu_mobileBookmarks {
  display: none !important;
} 

This fix does not work on the iMac running OSX.


Actual results:

"Mobile Bookmarks" keeps coming back even though turned off (false) in "about:config"


Expected results:

"Mobile Bookmarks" should remain hidden when turned off.
