How do I open the bookmarks sidebar in firefox 7?

more options

I can't seem to find where I can open a sidebar to view my bookmarks and browsing history without opening a separate window. I know in the older version of firefox I could just click view>sidebar and that's what the help instructions say to do, but that info doesn't show anything about opening a sidebar with the latest version of firefox because there is no "view" option, or at least none that I can see!

You can hit the Alt key to temporarily show the Menu Bar, which has the View menu. Or you can use { Ctrl + B } to open (and close) the Bookmarks Sidebar.
