Attn: Jscher2000 Re Display All Bookmarks (not just folders) in New FF Window
Hi again J
Older thread https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1284813 now closed of course. You suggested "If you paste the following address to the address bar of a new window and press Enter to load it, you have largely the same functionality:"
chrome://browser/content/places/bookmarksSidebar.xhtml
Good idea. Yes, "largely." Then I bookmarked "that page" And then pinned/locked that 'bookmark' as a tab in my Default Session. Then ...
"You can hold the Shift key and left-click the bookmark to open the bookmark (link) in a new window. This should always work to open a link in a new window." Mozilla Support. Which it does.
Bingo. Standard browser window. Separate Window with All folders and All bookmarks in a ONE PANE in its own window, so any and all bookmarks are visible concurrently. The Browser and Bookmarks show on Taskbar as two icons for toggling ("never combine") and the critical functionality from ancient FF 3.26 (not the portable) and later via AiOS or "Good 'Ol Sidebar" is back in business. Took me awhile for the opportunity to investigate this, but I appreciate your experience and patience. Cheers!

Hi, if you edit out the spaces at the beginnings of lines, your post will be much easier to read. https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1368000
If I understand correctly:
You bookmarked chrome://browser/content/places/bookmarksSidebar.xhtml and when you Shift+click that bookmark, it opens in a new window (as expected).
So all is good for now?

Gotcha on the spaces. Didn't know it would come out that way before it did.
As to "good for now?" I would say I've got a functional option. Not the most elegant, but in a pinch this would be plenty adequate. After posting, I noticed that I could not save this bookmark in a pinned/locked tab location that would be on the browser at startup. If it were, then shift click into a new window would be one step away off that tab. Just like now with AiOS or Good Ole Sidebar off the Icon on the tool bar. But the Tab Lock extension I'm using (instead of Session Mgr and or Tab Mix Plus) would not open that bookmark for some reason. But I can still get there, and that's the important point. New Window for any and all bookmarks not just their folders. (Typing this from a different PC so not all the details are at hand.) Thanks again. Maybe someone clever will see this post, replicate the procedure, see its value, and build a simple extension that does this more elegantly, knowing IT CAN BE DONE. Cheers, P
