Hi all FireFoxers,

I recently re-installed version 2.0.0.14 of Peter Naulls' port of
FireFox. But I can't get a sidebar for bookmarks/history. If I
click on View --> Sidebar --> Bookmarks or View --> Sidebar --> History
FF crashes with a report in file stderr. The same thing happens if
I click on History --> Show in Sidebar.

I use to have a sidebar with this version before I re-installed,
but I can't see how to create one now.

Should I replace the stderr file with an empty text file? One report
in stderr started "Illegal instruction ....." and another had
"Xlib:  extension "SHAPE" missing on display "(null)"." repeated 4
times each on a separate line.

See the same issue with 2.0.0.14 on my Iyonix running RISC OS 5.13.

Previous versions worked but I think it stopped at .12 version and I
couldn't get it to work again even when reverting to a previous
version.

Still you can see and navigate the bookmarks by using the
menu>bookmarks>organise bookmarks option.

Or Menu>View>Toolbars>Custom and drag the bookmarks icon to the top of
Firefox's toolbar placing it where you want and it sometimes works
using this method though does take a time to display.

Best bet is the former organise option as this does not seem to bomb
out Firefox.
