Hi,
In a nutshell, I need to have the Bookmarks Sidebar remain PERMANENTLY on the left side of my Firefox page. After an update, it now disappears if I change pages, and must be manually reinstalled on the new page.
I've been a Mozilla Firefox user since Mozilla Firefox was born. I currently use Linux 24.04 Desktop and Windows 11. This problem exists on both platforms: I've always kept my bookmarks displayed in a vertical column on the left side of the screen. I will call this a Sidebar. Whenever I brought up a new page, my bookmarks were automatically there to greet me in my Sidebar. Always. Now my Sidebar is gone. It seems to have been replaced by the Toolbar, which appears horizontally across the top of the screen, and it is awful.
I've tried very hard to restore the old way of doing things... I've spent several hours reading the solutions offered to countless numbers of people who have experienced the same problem. I've poured through the Firefox manuals. Nothing works. I've always been able to make things work in Firefox. But not this time.
The closest I've come is Ctrl-B. And of course my trusty "Book" icon in the top tray will also bring up the Sidebar when I go to a new page and click it.. But the problem is that I have to do this EVERY SINGLE TIME I go to a new page.
So here I am, begging for help. Please, please don't tell me to go again to the Settings Help Menu and press the "bookmarks" button, and follow the instructions . I've gone down an eternity of empty roads doing that. I'm not saying the solution isn't there, but if it is, it is hidden in a serpentine maze that has always led me back to square one.
Just tell me:
Either 1: "We goofed. There's no way to fix it without asking you to go digging into system files and risking the life of your Firefox Browser. Our guys will do the repair and send it to you along with a future Firefox update. Be patient."
Or 2: "Here's how you can, at home, make the Sidebar appear vertically on the left side of each page, PERMANENTLY. All you have to do is follow these explicit instructions that are guaranteed to work..."
This does appear to be, at best, a very annoying problem for countless thousands of your faithful users. Please help.
Thank you!
