Firefox does not provide an option for vertical toolbars. This was not much of a problem in the past; but with the growing dominance of laptops, and with the predominance of wide aspect displays, the time for vertical toolbars has arrived.
The upcoming Firefox versions will be working to reduce the vertical space the browser uses. This is the right thing to do, but will require an additional toolbar for quick access to various tools like text resizing, etc. The best place for a supplementary toolbar will be on a left or right margin, leaving the top space unmolested.
Firefox already provides sidebars. The extensions All-in-One Sidebars and TotalToolbar (from Mozdev) show that vertical toolbars are practical, especially the latter.
I can't find the old bug right now. I think this was wontfixed long ago. But times change. With the 3.7 UI especially, vertical toolbars need to be part of Firefox's armamentarium.
