[BugBot [:suhaib / :marco/ :calixte]]

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.

Please see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1919721#c61

You will need to use the Restore defaults once, then customize the toolbars again to your preferences.

Resetting the toolbar doesn't solve my problem. Also this is not a duplicate of that issue.

Sorry, missed that this was about version 128, so clearly different issue.

I assume it's the 128 ESR version?

2. Select Bookmarks to be visible

Can you clarify exactly what you do in this step?

4. Bookmarks icon disappears from the sidebar

Can you add a screenshot of the bookmarks icon in the sidebar?

Yes, I use the latest ESR.

2. Select Bookmarks to be visible

Can you clarify exactly what you do in this step?

Sure. When I check Bookmarks to make it visible on the sidebar then restart the browser, this setting will goes back to default state. Also I discovered that when I close the setting panel then reopen it, it will be unchecked immediately, while the bookmark icon remains visible on the sidebar until I restart the browser.
(The screenshot covers these)

4. Bookmarks icon disappears from the sidebar

Can you add a screenshot of the bookmarks icon in the sidebar?

Sure! screenshot - hope it works.

Thanks for the screenshot (you can use the Attach new file button above your comment to attach images, files, etc.).

Now I understand why I was confused: looks like you manually changed a pref in about:config to get this (sidebar.revamp)? While I can confirm the buggy behavior, this is not a feature supported in 128, so I'd expect the bug to be a WONTFIX. Moving to the right component for triage though.

Yes, I enabled this feature that way. ESR 128 will be around for a while so that would be nice if they would fix this anyway.

We are not likely to uplift a fix into 128 - this is all behind a default-off pref. This might get fixed by bug 1908019. Also possibly a dupe of 1922777?
