Steps to reproduce:

The bookmarks menu has a "View bookmarks sidebar" item. However, in the history menu, there isn't a similar item.

Solution:
Implement a "View history sidebar" item to the history menu (the ideal position would be between "Recently closed windows" & "Search history" items) to be consistent with the bookmarks menu.

Also, add a grey "Ctrl + B" shortcut tooltip label to the right side of that item.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Bookmarks & History' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Component: Untriaged → Bookmarks & History

In the "native" menubar I don't see such option, as well as in the three-lines main menu.
This likely refers to the Bookmarks menu that can be added from Customize.
Though, I'm not sure what makes the most sense here, especially with revamped sidebar enabled, the Bookmarks option may be redundant too since there's easier ways to reach the sidebar.

I acknowledge the validity of the arguments supporting this enhancement and will confirm it accordingly. However, the decision to implement it will rest with the appropriate stakeholders. Thank you for your valuable contribution!
