How can I make my bookmarks appear on the left like they did in much older versions? I don't like the "new look".

I've been using Firefox since it was Firebird. I like the way my bookmarks appeared on the left, but I *HATE* the way they look in newer versions. On my own machine, they still look like they did before, even tho I've upgraded to 22. But on other machines, even tho I've uninstalled 22 and gone back as far as 3.0, they change to the new style when I upgrade to 22. Grrrrrr.. :-(

{Ctrl + B} opens and close the Bookmarks Sidebar, as it always has with Phoenix, Firebird, Firefox.

You can also open the Bookmarks Sidebar with Alt > View -> Sidebar --< Bookmarks. Or you can use "Customize" and move the 2nd Bookmarks button on to a Toolbar and hide the "original" Bookmarks button at the same time.
