Hello,
Â
My Wife’s PC uses WIN 10 64bit HOME and quite regularly has issues of losing the Bookmark Sidebar. She has done nothing to cause this to happen and has not, at least knowingly, installed Add Ons.
Â
I am sick and tired of being interrupted from my work, to correct this persistent issue.
Â
It is getting to the point where she will very likely go to Chrome, to get away from these ridiculous problems.
With ridiculous issues like this, it is no wonder that many are turning to other Browsers, of which there is now a good selection available.
Â
My own PC runs on WIN 10 64bit PRO and have never exhibited this problem.
Â
Can you please:_
Â
As a Computer Tech myself, I am of the belief that the Bookmarks on a PC are a Personal Setting and should not ever be changed by anyone or anything, other than by the Individual who owns the machine, and once set, should not ever change.

Can you please:_
- Inform me as to why this problem continually repeats itself, at least once per week.
It could be that she is clicking the menu item for bookmarks
Toolbar by mistake and this can hide and unhide it.
- What needs to be done to prevent this problem happening.
I suggest hide the Menu bar so that she doesn't go there ever again. This might be one solution. There is no need for her to use a Menu bar if all she is doing is browsing the web and doing her daily shopping, facebook, Twitter etc.

 Bookmarks belong to the user of that account who creates them. I suggest try this Doc and see if hiding it is a way forward for her and you.

Personally, I would just hide it as she can always make rough
notes of her regular weblinks.Â

Hello,
Â
Thank you for your response.
Â
This is not the expected answer I was waiting for.
Â
I asked for and was expecting direct answers to the Two Points I made.
Â
My Wife is very pleased with the Bookmark Side Bar, when it stays put on the Side Area for Firefox.
Â
I am very pleased also, as I have something like at least a Hundred Bookmarked Sites – my Wife has only about Ten or so.
Â
Very simply, this just should not be happening and there has to be a reason for it occurring – what is so different about our Two Systems, apart from the fact that my Wife’s is Home and mine is Pro version of Win 10.
Â
It passes through my mind that it may be related to Firefox Updates, upsetting her Personal Settings, or, Windows Updates – neither of which should upset Personal Settings.
