Side bookmarks bar has dissappeared but it still available via the bookmark icon at top left of the screen. Thanks for help to retrieve and keep at the side

Until I downloaded firefox browser to join firefox, sidebar was black and showed all I had bookmarked. Now it still shows them if the bookmark icon at the top right hand corner is selected but does not seem to provide an option to move them back to the side bar space or return colours originally defaulted. Any help much appreciated. Thanks, John PS I am using Mac OS v 12

I'm not sure whether the problem is that the sidebar closed, or that it cannot be re-opened.

You might find a "Sidebars" button on the toolbar you can use to open/close the sidebar.

On the menu bar, View > Sidebar > Bookmarks should open it.

And for Bookmarks in particular, there is a keyboard shortcut: Command+b.

Do any of those work?

Are you using code in userChrome.css for the bookmarks sidebar ?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or userChrome.css is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
