I can get at the bookmarks/favorites - but cannot get the list to anchor to the left margin. It is a pain to go and look for the list rather than just scroll down the left side. I am sure it is just a matter of clicking on something - but I cannot figure out what.

It must have been a change in a recent update ? I have Firefox 4.0.1

Actually, you should have a button on the toolbar with a little white star on it. Clicking that will also open your bookmarks in the sidebar.

If you can't see it, do the following.

Right click a blank part of the Tab Bar and then click Customize. A panel will open and you should be able to find that button in there. Just drag it onto the toolbar along with anything else you want. Similarly, you can remove things you don't want by dragging them in there.

Also, why that panel remains open, you can rearrange the layout to your own taste by dragging elements around.
