We consider Firefox an integral (and useful) feature in Firefox now.
If a user wants to remove it, they can right click and remove the icon.
Can I ask why you want to remove it?

Because it is a "feature" that prompts users to sign up for a Firefox Account, adds a bunch of whitespaces in the process, and doesn't do anything new (at least for me anyway) on top of the old Library. It's pretty telling when the recently closed tabs history section in fxview-next has a Show all history
button that simply points you back to... the Library?

How would you expect users to deploy this? I mean I could always modify the default value of browser.uiCustomization.state
with something like
{
"policies": {
"Preferences": {
"browser.uiCustomization.state": {
"Value": "{\"placements\":{\"widget-overflow-fixed-list\":[],\"unified-extensions-area\":[],\"nav-bar\":[\"back-button\",\"forward-button\",\"stop-reload-button\",\"customizableui-special-spring1\",\"urlbar-container\",\"customizableui-special-spring2\",\"save-to-pocket-button\",\"downloads-button\",\"fxa-toolbar-menu-button\",\"unified-extensions-button\"],\"toolbar-menubar\":[\"menubar-items\"],\"TabsToolbar\":[\"tabbrowser-tabs\",\"new-tab-button\",\"alltabs-button\"],\"PersonalToolbar\":[\"import-button\",\"personal-bookmarks\"]},\"seen\":[\"save-to-pocket-button\",\"developer-button\"],\"dirtyAreaCache\":[],\"currentVersion\":19,\"newElementCount\":2}",
"Status": "default"
}
}
}
}
, but that would also mean I would have to keep up with changes to CustomizableUI.sys.mjs
every now and then because the value of browser.uiCustomization.state
is empty by default. I also can't just deploy, for example, only the TabsToolbar
part because Firefox would just treat the value as invalid.
You do have a policy for something even more minute (the home button) anyway. It would be nice if users can depoly this in a simplier way.

We're resolving the issue that the Sync login appears on the page, but at this point, we don't have plans to add a policy to remove Firefox View.
I'll add it to the backlog.
FYI, there's a lot of new features coming to that page that will make it better than library (the search is already better).
