Bookmarks sidebar no longer available???

I use a MacBook, and the main thing I like about Safari is being able to have a bookmarks sidebar open all the time. However, I am trying Firefox for a couple reasons, and there seems to be no way to have a bookmarks sidebar open. All the Help topics on this say to click the Bookmarks button in the taskbar, but there is no Bookmarks button in my version. Has this been taken away? Is it possible to have a Bookmarks sidebar in Firefox on MacOS?

Thanks! :)

Crap, I found it. Forgot MacOS put everything somewhere other than where you actually are working: It is under View in the menu way at the top of the screen. Love the Mac hardware, hate the OS.

Thanks anyhow! :)

Note that you should also find it in the right-click context menu of some items on the Navigation Toolbar like the "3-bar" Firefox menu button or free space on the tab bar or via the "Command+B" keyboard shortcut.

Actually, that Bookmarks menu button has been optional (requires being added by the user) since late 2017. You can find the button on the Customize panel and drag it to your preferred spot on the toolbar. See: Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars.
