Try as hard as I may from all the Help screens, I cannt find a solution to how to permanently pin the Bookmark Toolbar to the side of the screen in my version of Firefox which is 129.0.2 in Windows 11. The option to pin the toolbar where the user wants it to appear seems to have vanished. Am I correct?

The only options I can find in Firefox now are Show Toolbar and it will only appear across the top of the screen (unless I Ctrl+B); Show in new tab or Hide.

Ctrl+B will bring up the tool bar, say to the left, but when Firefox is closed and re-opened there is the need to Ctrl+B again to redisplay the toolbar. My experience of Windows 10 was that everytime I opened Firefox my side bar for Bookmarks automatically appeared because I had always been able to pin it there.

Please help to restore the function, if it hasn't been removed through updates.

Thank you.

peternewlands06, under certain conditions the sidebar open / closed state will not persist between Firefox restarts. This is known to Mozilla and should be fixed in a future release.

Also, the bookmarks side panel is not the same thing as the bookmarks toolbar along the top. The toolbar along the top shows only the contents of a specific bookmarks folder. Whereas the side panel will show the contents of any folder that you navigate to within it.

Hello TechHorse Are you able to share the 'certain conditions'? In Windows 10 not an issue (don't remember the version) not an issue in MacOS Mojave either on v115.14.0esr (the latest that will run I guess) It is really good when everything just works! No doubt it will for Win 11 in due course.

Thanks for your reply and extra insight re the tool bar operation.

Since Firefox 127 no longer xulstore.json is used to store the sidebar state, but this is now stored in sessionstore.jsonlz4 as part of session data. If you clear the browsing history when you close Firefox, then the sidebar state is lost. Note that they are considering to save the sidebar state in a pref that acts as a fallback for cases like this, but this won't allow to save the sidebar state per window.
