Bookmarks toolbar won't stay open

Before the update, my bookmarks toolbox was permanently open on the left side of the screen. That was a perfect setup for me, as I use a lot of bookmarklets for time saving on sites I'm on frequently. Since the update, all I have at the top of the screen is Import bookmarks and Most Visited (top left) and Other Bookmarks (top right). I can open Other Bookmarks, and my bookmarklets are there, but clicking one closes the Other Bookmarks folder each and every time. This renders them useless for my purpose. Is there a way to reopen, and KEEP open, my toolbox? I've tried clicking the Keep Open option and selecting done, but that doesn't do what I'm wanting it to do.

You can open the bookmarks sidebar via "Ctrl+B" or "View -> Sidebar" or possibly drag the Sidebars button from the Customize palette to the Navigation Toolbar.

Thank you, cor-el! Ctrl+B opened it exactly the way I was used to. Appreciate the help!
