Instead I put all of my bookmarks in the Bookmarks Toolbar and then installed the extension, <strong>Hide BookmarksBar</strong>. - <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hide-bookmarksbar" rel="nofollow">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hide-bookmarksbar</a>
</p><p>Hide BookmarksBar allows you to create a custom shortcut to hide and show the bookmarks toolbar which I prefer a toolbar layout over the menu anyway so this is perfect for me.
</p><p>I customized the addon to use <strong>Ctrl+Shift+B as the shortcut</strong> so I can use Ctrl+B for the Bookmarks Sidebar and then the other for Hide BookmarksBar. This works great for me, maybe it will for you.
