My Bookmark sidebar staying on top

more options

How do I keep My Bookmarks sidebar on top always. I have set it to do so, but it goes away as soon as I type somewhere else. I have Windows 11 now, Windows 10 allowed this as well as a search bar for Bookmarks. I have had 2 strokes and need to see my bookmarks as I use them.

Hi, do you mean the sidebar that you can optionally open on the left side (Ctrl+B) or the Toolbar you can optionally open below the address bar (Ctrl+Shift+B)?

In another thread, someone mentioned there is a new option for the sidebar to "collapse" which I guess means to close itself, but that isn't happening on mine yet. Perhaps it is an experimental option that is currently in testing.

To roll back your sidebar to the classic behavior, you could try the following:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.

More info on about:config: Configuration Editor for Firefox. The moderators would like us to remind you that changes made through this back door aren't fully supported and aren't guaranteed to continue working in the future.

(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste sidebar.revamp and pause while the list is filtered

(3) If the preference is set to true, double-click it (or click the Toggle button at the right end of the row) to switch the value from true to false

Any difference?

Ctrl+B should open the Bookmarks Sidebar. Does that work?
