Sidebars keep vanishing

The bookmarks sidebar disappearing is creating inconvenience and I´m always having to use CNTL-B to recover it, even after I have selected View/Sidebar/Bookmarks which has a tick. Each time I change sites it deletes the tick. 

I checked the about:config toobars and I cannot find it, or am I in the wrong place ?

In Firefox 127+ is the sidebar state stored in sessionstore.jsonlz4 as part of session data and is no longer stored in xulstore.json. If you clear the browsing history when you close Firefox, then the sidebar state is lost.

Solved it folks.......Go to FF Help/More troubleshoot info/ Clear start up cache and then do cold restart. The problem occured after a BSOD (yes, it still happens with Win 10) and having to reset notebook BIOS with a small pin on the underside. RJ
