How can I get bookmarks to open directly underneath the folder in the sidebar to save width space?
Just reset Firefox(latest version) as it was running slowly, now much better but I had customized the bookmarks sidebar so that everything (folders, bookmarks) opened directly underneath each other rather than one step to the right. This saved space. This customisation has gone and I can't find how I did it as it was an answer somewhere at least a couple of years ago. Please help. Thanks

You would have used code in the userChrome.css file to achieve this.
Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.
The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#bookmarksPanel treechildren::-moz-tree-indentation { width: 0px !important; }
Cor-el, Thanks for your response but, unfortunately, you may be mistaking me for someone who knows what they are doing!! i am sure you are right about how I did it before as that all rings a bell with me. Unfortunately i need step by step guidance to get it sorted. Firstly, i don't appear to have a userChrome.css file. It appears it is not now automatically added. I tried to add one and then copy and paste the above in plain text into it but it got me nowhere.
don't know if you have the patience to guide me through the whole process???
Thanks
