Mising Bookmarks Sidebar menu

Firefox Bookmarks

In the newly released 157, the drop-down menu on the Bookmarks sidebar is missing. This prevents you from switching between sidebars unless the vertical sidebar menu is open, a real waste of real estate. The other sidebars, such as History, retain their menus. If you have the History sidebar open, and use the drop-down menu to switch to Bookmarks, now you're stuck--the only way out is to activate the "Customize sidebar" vertical menu and go through the processes to open the History sidebar.

Yes, there is a workaround: the History button. But this does not have an integrated search box, and the same sorting capabilities.

This is weird, I was reporting this bug earlier when it appeared in preview and it got fixed few months back — not sure how it ended up in the current release:/

It's tracked in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2076468 — thanks for the report!
