Sidebars keep vanishing
The bookmarks sidebar disappearing is creating inconvenience and I´m always having to use CNTL-B to recover it, even after I have selected View/Sidebar/Bookmarks which has a tick. Each time I change sites it deletes the tick.
I checked the about:config toobars and I cannot find it, or am I in the wrong place ?

In Firefox 127+ is the sidebar state stored in sessionstore.jsonlz4 as part of session data and is no longer stored in xulstore.json. If you clear the browsing history when you close Firefox, then the sidebar state is lost.

Solved it folks.......Go to FF Help/More troubleshoot info/ Clear start up cache and then do cold restart. The problem occured after a BSOD (yes, it still happens with Win 10) and having to reset notebook BIOS with a small pin on the underside. RJ

Why was this changed? It's very annoying and i should not have to click on the show sidebar button or have to use ctrl+b to reinstate it every time i open a new session of Firefox!!
They are considering to save the sidebar state in a pref that acts as a fallback for cases like this, but this won't allow to save the sidebar state per window like is possible with session restore. Currently this might land in 133, but it has already be postponed a few times.
