‘New update for Firefox removed my bookmark menu from side bar. When I open FIrefox, my bookmarks are gone, but a one inch vertical, useless space appears. Please help.’ for ‘Firefox’

WHY HAVE ALL MY SAVED BOOKMARKS DISSAPEARED ??? THERE USED TO BE A COLUMN ON THE RIGHT WHEN I OPENED THE BROWSER, ITS GONE. I COULD CLICK AND GO TO THE SITE I NEED TO WORK WITH ??

Just recently, the Bookmarks sidebar quit appearing automatically when I opened Firefox. In each new window, it can be selected manually.

I posted this thread under "Privacy and Security" because other threads on the Internet (some quite old) say this issue can be fixed by changing the Browsing history settings. I tried that, but got a strange result: the Bookmarks sidebar did appear automatically, but the webpage I was on would not display any images embedded in the page. And then I wondered: why must I eliminate Browsing History just to automatically display my bookmarks?

Any help would be deeply appreciated.

All - I was terrified to sign off my computer last nite, in the event that shutting down would make my missing bookmarks disappear into the ozone layer. But, I did so at midnite. Woke up this morning and when I logged in - BAMM - my bookmarks were all right where they should be, my recent activity history was there so I am here to announce it had to be a user error! Before I noticed the bookmarks were MIA, I had gone thru the setting and review all were as they should be but I never did a restart to make sure all the settings were applied. So when I shut down at midnight, that must have acted as a reboot.

I am getting a new memory stick to back those bookmarks up today and this is resolved!!!

_________________________________________________________________________________________________ An update was installed on April 29, and for the first time, ALL BOOKMARKS appear to be wiped. Have NEVER had this happen in 20 years so hoping it's a simple problem such as a setting change. What's the best place to start or should I just uninstall and go to the last update which was the Firefox 137.0.2 (20250414091429) Installed on: April 15, 2025 at 7:17:18 PM?

The following update from 4/29 wiped my bookmarks. WIN PC Intel 64bit 8GB UPDATE INFO: Firefox 138.0 (20250421163656) Installed on: April 29, 2025 at 5:17:56 PM Status: The Update was successfully installed.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Connie T.

MY FF recently updated to version 1380.1 (64bits) and my Sidebar Bookmarks are gone. That is I have to manually put them back every time I now start FF. I want them to always show when I start FF. When I need extra screen space, I would click the X and they'd disappear for that session. And when I was done, I'd click on View - Bookmarks they'd be reinstalled. And when I shut FF down and returned later, they'd be right there where I need them.

My question is, how do I get back to that setup?

Until last Friday when i opened Firefox on my PC (Windows 10) i had the bookmarks sidebar on the left hand side as i "pinned" it there with the view>sidebar>bookmarks" function but now every time i open Firefox the sidebar is gone and i have to add it every single time which is very time consuming and annoying, could you please help?

Basically now every time i open a new window i have to go to "view>sidebar>bookmarks" to see my bookmarks sidebar or click on the "show sidebars" icon on the menu bar, this never happened before as the bookmarks sidebar was always displayed and pinned in every new window (as i would like it to be!), please advise, thank you!

My sidebar kept disappearing when opening a new window. After asking the internet, I learned that this was part of the latest UI update. This is a horrible update (sorry programming team) because if you always want your sidebar to show up, all that extra stuff has to show up as well. See first image.

The second problem is that the Hide Sidebar button is too close to the Back button. I keep clicking on the Hide Sidebar button when I really want the Back button.

Is there a way to hide these controls? I know you can move them to the right, but then, so does your sidebar. I don't have a lot of screen real estate. Can we have an option to go back to the "classic" settings for sidebars?

By the way... In the previous versions of Firefox, I was able to click on a link (example: Google search) and my sidebar (in my case with my bookmarks) was always there in the new window or tab. Now when I click on a link, the sidebar with my bookmarks disappears in the new window. I have to keep enabling it if I want to see my bookmarks. I'm 100% sure that this is causing frustration with over 87% of Firefox users. Can we please bring back that old functionality?

Been using Firefox for many years. Configured the Firefox Browser to automatically open the Sidebar Bookmarks every time I open Firefox browser. About a week ago that configuration stopped working and I can not re-set it to automatically open the Sidebar Bookmarks when I open the Mozilla browser. When I search online I see I am not the only user of Firefox who has developed this same problem. I suspect it occurred when Firefox updated their browser. Would appreciate getting that feature restored as it is annoying to have to open the Sidebar Bookmarks every time I open and use Firefox browser. No, I am not going to leave it open when I stop using my computer to solve the problem. I close all my apps and shut my computer down after using it. If this cannot be fixed my only alternative is to stop using Firefox and find a new browser.

If I am doing something wrong please advise!

Since update to Firefox version 138.0.1, my last viewed side bar is never automatically displayed upon REOPENING Firefox. I must always > View > Re-select the desired sidebar choice >

How can I get this side bar to re-display automatically upon opening Firefox as it used to in previous versions?

My Bookmarks do not not show when I open Firefox. I have enabled Bookmarks under View > Sidebars but they don't show and I have to manually make the visible every time I us Firefox.

I have Firefox ver. 138.0.1. Since this update I can't find a way to open my bookmarks on the sidebar and keep it there. I can open it by going to View-Sidebar-Bookmarks. But I have to do this every time I sign into my Firefox. I like working with my bookmarks open on the left side all the time. I am sincerely hoping the update did not do away with that feature.
