You can't achieve this.
All 'recently' type smart folders show the result of a query.
You would have to remove all bookmarks because as long as there is at least one bookmark you will see this bookmark in the recent list.

You can create a new bookmark and paste this place URI in its location field if you want to create a smart folder that shows the result of a places.sqlite database query.
The maxResults parameter sets the number of results to show.
You need to do a Cut/Paste to another folder or close and restart Firefox to make this smart folder work properly (it will get a cogwheel icon).


Name: Recently Bookmarked
