Forced upgrade this morning (6th Sept 18) but sidebar has gone & googling solutions provide very out of date answers

I've tried library/bookmarks/bookmarking tools/add toolbar, but the last option isn't available, just remove bookmarks menu; hide sidebar or hide toolbar. All I want is the left side bar with my bookmarks I've organised that I had yesterday, NOT the "recently bookmarked" drop down that appears on the right but I can't find a way to move it to left. HELP please?

hi, the keyboard shortcut ctrl+b enables/disables the bookmarks sidebar.

Thanks very much - that bit works, but it's only the basic sidebar, not including any bookmarks?

Hi, please can you provide a screenshot (or partial screenshot) of what you are seeing?

You also might want to look at the ctrl-shift-b ("Show all bookmarks") to see if the bookmarks are there or not.

Hi there. The first worked but not everything complete he? Do you take a look at whether you have malware? There is a refresh button on your machine if you see this press it immediately. greet firefox.

the three black text basic bookmarks are on the left & I've just found mine hiding in the "other bookmarks" bit - sorry for bothering the clan but many thanks for your quick & generous responses. I'm able to work again, many thanks!!
