Comment (by strix):

 According to
 https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkSettings.html#GtkSettings--gtk-
 recent-files-limit, gtk-recent-files-limit is now deprecated.

 However, adding
 {{{
 gtk-recent-files-max-age = 0
 }}}
 to settings.ini for users so afflicted by gtk on their install does the
 trick.

 Storing file names in recently-used.xbel remains an outstanding issue as
 of Tor Browser 9.0.2, and the fix seems trivial.
