Just upgraded my desktop from XP to Win7. In XP, Firefox allowed the bookmarks column to come up and stay up on the left side of the window until I closed it. Now with Win7 and a more recent version of Firefox, I can't figure out how to do it.

hello deb1919, ctrl + B is the keyboard shortcut to bring up the bookmarks sidebar.

  • Toggle the Bookmarks sidebar on/off via "View > Sidebar > Bookmarks" or Ctrl+B (Command+B on Mac)
  • Toggle the History sidebar on/off via "View > Sidebar > History" or Ctrl+H (Command+H on Mac)
  • Press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the hidden "Menu Bar" temporarily.

You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file if you can't keep the sidebar open after a restart.
