If My Sidebar contains no siebar tabs, attempting to add a news tab results in
the following JavaScript Error

Error: tree_root has no properties
Source File: chrome://communicator/content/sidebar/customize.js
Line: 377

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.From Main Menu, Select View > Show/Hide > Sidebar
2. From Sidebar Pane Select Tabs > Customize Sidebar...
3. From the Customize Sidebar dialog, Select a tab from the list of available tabs
4. Click on Add.
Actual Results:  
Nothing.
(except the Javascript error that appears in the JavaScript Console)

Is there some file I can open and edit to get the sidebar back? I'd really like
access to my history

Should be fixed in new builds. See bug 135717 comment 21 for an easy workaround.
