Recent Bookmarks and the Pocket list no longer needs representation in the bookmarks menu. By default, these items are available in The Library which means we can return the real estate we needed to occupy (because we didn't have a place to show these things before) back to the user.

Per conversation with Bryan, remove these things out of both the toplevel menu and the bookmarks menu button.

I'm deliberately not removing strings in case we end up on beta and discover reasons we can't / don't want to ship this. Assuming this is OK, I will file bugs on the exact strings that need removing in 58.

Not sure what I'm missing here, but I just installed latest m-c win32 hourly build from cset https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/319a34bea9e4f3459886b5b9e835bd338320f1fd that contains this patch from I see from treeherder. Clicking on Bookmarks Icon that I placed o the navbar the 'Recent Bookmarked/Pocket entries as shown in the attachment included in this bug is still present.

Closer look shows that Pocket is removed, Recent Bookmark are still present in the Bookmarks button on NavBar.

You're either not *actually* testing with that build or you're using a "bookmarks icon" that I'm unaware of. Both the markup and the JS for these items is gone in that rev. I just tested it myself (on osx). Please re-test on a clean profile and, if you're still having issues, file a new bug with more details.

I just doublechecked with win32, and I see the same thing there, for https://queue.taskcluster.net/v1/task/f-Ts7Ce-R8aix78Lv_LABA/runs/0/artifacts/public/build/target.zip . If you're using the stub installer, maybe it's downloading an earlier full installer? Check about:buildconfig of the build you're actually running to verify what revision it's from.

Confirming with about:buildconfig https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/319a34bea9e4f3459886b5b9e835bd338320f1fd TC shows that patches are included in that cset. I always download the 'full installer' / using add/remove programs remove the previous build, then run the installer. Will test a new profile in a few mins.

New Profile - Recently Bookmarked is still showing under the Bookmark button the NavBar.

I can't clear the 'needinfo' flag. I uncheck the box below but it does not clear. This bug does not remove the Recent Bookmarks in a dirty profile. I had a death in family and not had to follow up. New Profile clean. Recently Bookmarked is not present in the Bookmarks drop-down. Copy/Paste places.sqlite from exiting Profile into the new Profile. Now.. Recently bookmarked appears. Seems patch is not cleaning up places.sqlite or something...

Keep the "clear the needinfo request for ..." box checked and the flag will be removed. It seems you succeeded at this point. :-) > This bug does not remove the Recent Bookmarks in a dirty profile.

Where exactly are you seeing this? Unfortunately I am still not able to reproduce this. > Seems patch is not cleaning up places.sqlite or something... We don't intend to remove any bookmarks, so places.sqlite shouldn't be affected. What's happening here is that: 1) we no longer show the "Recent bookmarks" section in the toplevel bookmarks menu (from the old-style menubar) - but will still show bookmarks filed in the bookmarks menu. 2) we no longer show the "Recent bookmarks" section in the bookmarks menu button's menu panel (this is the separate button with a star over a line/tray icon, which is no longer visible by default) - but will still show bookmarks filed in the bookmarks menu. 3) we *still* show recent bookmarks as part of the "bookmarks" section in the library panel (the button with an icon of several books), and if you move the 'bookmarks toolbar items' item into the overflow menu (it'll show the same thing as the 'bookmarks' section of the library menu). 4) as of bug 1354536, we show 'recent highlights' in the library panel itself, which may include bookmarks (depends on various factors). If this doesn't match what you're seeing, please file a separate bug with a screenshot of what you're seeing, when convenient.

Please see: https://imgur.com/a/g9rVv This is from the Bookmarks Icon added to NavBar from Customize. Please sdd: https://imgur.com/a/chayx This from the Library Icon in the Hamburger Menu bar->Bookmarks After seeing your post it appears that I have completely misunderstood the nature of the patch. Thanks Gijs for your patience.

Should mention the above was from my 'working' Profile, not a completely clean one.

No worries, glad we got it sorted out. Gonna call this verified based on those screenshots. :-)
