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?

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.
