Firefox 131 Sidebar setting no longer persistent
Uh - there's no topic for bugs... need one of those.
Seems that somewhere along the line Sidebar setting no longer persistent. The problem is that after I use the sidebar to view history, dismiss it when finished and then close FF the setting that the sidebar should show history when it is opened is not retained by FF. So the next time FF is opened, the sidebar is not showing. When the sidebar is opened, it shows bookmarks rather than history.
This needs fixed. And while you at it make a configuration key for it in the about:config page. Seems simple enough. Ya know back when I started with all this PC crap in the 1980's things worked. Now, not so much. To much man-bun, java jockey pitiful python pirate for me.
Sad to see how convoluted this all got. All because no one can write good, low level code. Really sad.

Wow - and I noticed a few typos in the OP. No way to edit it. That's silly. Every other forum - even Facecrack - allows this.
Are you using "Clear history when Firefox closes" to clear the browsing history? In Firefox 127+ the sidebar state is stored in sessionstore.jsonlz4 in the Firefox profile folder 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.
