Installed Firefox 4.0 but RoboForm wouldn't work. Removed 4.0 and re-installed 3.6.3. Now bookmarks show when "Bookmarks" box is clicked in Menu Bar, but do not appear in sidebar. When I click View>Sidebar, Bookmarks is grayed out. How do I get these bookmarks back into the bookmarks sidebar?

Does { Ctrl + B } work to open the Bookmarks Sidebar?

I am curious why you reverted to that old 3.6.3 version instead of the latest version of 3.6.17?

{Ctrl + B } simply toggles the sidebar off and on. Reinstalled 3.6 because that is what I had before trying 4.0. Also, when I open Firefox I get a JavaScript error message that I have to click OK to get Firefox to open. Also, just found out can't open a URL using Ctrl/Enter anymore. Have to type in whole address. I'd install 4.0 if I could get RoboForm to work with it.

Just upgraded to 3.6.17 and still have JavaScript error message and no bookmarks in sidebar. Error message suggests problem in chrome folder of Firefox but I can't find what it refers to.
