Patch reliability is unclear, but widespread attacks make patching prudent. Go ahead and patch, but watch out for potential problems. |
Some time ago there was an effective workaround for the non-persistent setting that Firefox used when opening the sidebar. The developers marked the bug as fixed in FF 138 but when FF updated the bug was back. Once again, after starting FF and then opening the sidebar it always opens to bookmarks instead of the the view (history) that I prefer.
So annoying!
Actually, I thought your post was clear. Did you walk through all the septs I outlined?
Screenshot may help:
If it doesn’t help, then I must be missing something. Wouldn’t be the first time.

@TechTango My settings do save history, etc. Following shows exactly how the sidebar button setting is no longer persistent between sessions in FF 138.
@TechTango Maybe I wasn’t clearly explaining the issue. When I say that it doesn’t display history what I mean is that clicking the sidebar button on the toolbar always brings up the sidebar displaying bookmarks instead of history. The choice to display history in the sidebar when it is opened by the toolbar button does not persist between firefox sessions.
