How can Bookmarks always show automatically in a new tab?

When I open a new tab, I need to always need to click View Bookmarks Sidebar. Is there a method to have it appear as the default setting?

Chosen solution

Sorry, the Bookmarks Sidebar is part of the browser window and can't be triggered to open by opening a new Tab.

There is at least one add-on that opens the Bookmarks Sidebar via proximity of the cursor to the window border. IOW opened by "mouseover". https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/mouseover-bookmarks-toolbar/
