I have a thread on this exact topic, and solutions. Let me link those, hang tight.

Here is the thread on the topic:
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=11569

However, it was too old (closed) when I found a solution so I could not add the solution to that thread. :(
Here is the beginning of the discussion that contains the solution:

Condensed How-To content from link above reproduced here:
For at least 7 years I've wanted a slimmer bookmarks menu in Pale Moon:
Allow users to hide Bookmarks sections they don't use.

Well, today I figured it out with the help from this post:
Visual Artefact When layout.css.devPixelsPerPx = 1.2

And this thread:
How to access Pale Moon UI element picker.

The short answer is to include these lines in your userChrome.css file:

Code: Select all

/* --- Bookmarks Menu - Hide Unwanted Items --- */
/* Inspired by: https : // forum. palemoon. org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=30106&p=241682#p241696 */

#subscribeToPageMenuitem,
#subscribeToPageMenupopup,
#bookmarksToolbarFolderMenu,
#bookmarksToolbarSeparator,
#menu_unsortedBookmarks,
.hide-if-empty-places-result
{ 
  display: none !important;
}
This will remove Bookmark menu items I don't use and take you from something like the left screenshot to something like the right screenshot:
