You can click open the sidebar.  Thus, not mandatory for dogfood.  Putting on
PDT- radar.

Somehow, the iframe is missing after it is reshowns. This is probably a
persistence bug.

If the sidebar is closed before you turn off Sidebars then turn them back on...
The sidebar cannot be reopened without restarting. neither drag nor click work.

However the original bug said start with the "sidebar open" - which works fine
for me.

Yeah, I only see this with the following sequence,

1. Hide sidebar with "View / Sidebar" menu.
2. Open new window.
3. Show sidebar with "View / Sidebar" in new window.

Resummarizing.

Try this sequence:
1) Launch Mozilla.
2) Click on Grippy to close sidebar.
3) Goto View
4) Click on Sidebar (Turning off the Sidebar)
5) Goto View
6) Click on Sidebar (Turning on the Sidebar)
7) Click on grippy to open the sidebar (nothing happens).
8) Drag grippy to try to open sidebar (still nothing).

This was tested on Build: 1999112808. (nightly build).
