I have to resize my bookmark sidebar every time I close the browser. Is there any way to stop FF from resizing it back to a 1 inch strip?

Such a setting is saved in the localstore.rdf file.

Nice try but alas that is for the toolbar not the sidebar. I did try what the article said but wrong part of FF. I am trying to find a setting for the bookmark sidebar to stop ff from making it 1 damn inch every time I close the browser. It's is a small thing but anoying as hell when you have to reset it every time I open the browser.

<RDF:Description RDF:about="chrome://browser/content/browser.xul#sidebar-box"
    sidebarcommand="viewBookmarksSidebar"
    src="chrome://browser/content/bookmarks/bookmarksPanel.xul"
    width="400" />

I downloaded the latest version of FF and dont seem to be facing this problem. The bookmark sidebar stays the same size to which i set it (FF ver 9.0.1 on Ubuntu 10.04)

Which version of FF are u using ? try getting the latest (if it ain't so already)
