Sidebar setting
Hi all, I've looked high and low for this, but can't find it... I have a couple of laptops and a desktop - one of the laptops has started showing a sidebar with buttons. I really like the utility of it and want to do same on second laptop and desktop, but all the settings I've tried just give me the old style of bookmarks. The version I want has a side pane with curved corners, and several buttons remain along left, almost like a left hand side menu bar. But where's the on/off button to add it to my other machines? All using latest version, and all logged in as me - I don't understand why, if its an update, it hasn't done so to all computers?

jrbraid, you can try the following on any computers that are not showing the new side bar. Note though that the Firefox that is installed on that computer must be reasonably up to date.
- go to about:config (enter this into the address bar and press enter)
- accept the risk
- search for "sidebar.revamp" and enable it
Thank you! Thats the fella! No idea how it did it automatically on one machine!
jrbraid, the new side bar is only being auto-enabled for some users at the moment. Not sure what the criteria that they use is, but it seems that that machine met the criteria / generated the correct random number, whereas the others did not.
But sometimes they do experiments / progressive roll outs where only selected users get the feature, so that they can gather feedback and fix bugs, before full release to all users.
