The show bookmarks button no longer opens up view bookmarks sidebar (ctrl + B). Now it is show bookmarks (ctrl + Shift + B) which opens a separate window. I want it to be the sidebar without having to do ctrl + B. Is there a way to changes this?

Thanks, Jeff

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here).

Check Out Customizable Shortcuts Allows to customize Firefox shortcuts.

I have read in another thread that a toolbar button to open the sidebar will return in Firefox 30. Until then, Ctrl+b or perhaps an add-on button would be the shortest way to open it.

Ctrl+B should still open the bookmarks sidebar like it did in previous Firefox versions. Ctrl+Shift+B opens the Bookmarks Manager (Library)


You can look at the Classic Theme Restorer extension to restore some functionality that was lost with the arrival of the Australis style in Firefox 29.

  • You can check out the settings of the CTR extension via its Options/Preferences button on the "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" page.
  • You can find extra toolbar buttons and more toolbar settings in Customize (3-bar Firefox menu button > Customize)
