Is there a keyboard shortcut to toggle display of the bookmarks bar on/off in Windows 10?

I frequently take screenshots of the browser and want to be able to quickly hide the bookmarks bar when doing so.

Thanks in advance

Hello radar81, the bookmarks side bar can be quickly opened or closed within Firefox by using the shortcut Ctrl+B

If this is about the Bookmarks Toolbar then try this sequence: Alt+VTB Alt+V opens the View menu, 'T' opens the Toolbar menu, and 'B' toggles the Bookmarks Toolbar. If you use another locale then the accelerator keys may differ.

Yes, my question was about the Bookmarks Toolbar. Your answer was helpful @cor-el.

Do you know if there is a way I can change/simplify the shortcut to toggle the Bookmarks Toolbar so that it is just a combination of two keys? For example ALT+Y
