It seems v148.0 has broken the sidebar

[ThinkSalat]

I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I just updated and after restarting, my second sidebar is gone. I put it on the left hand side of the window.

Reinstalling fx-autoconfig and clearing the startup cache sorted it for me. Just follow the readme on the fx-autoconfig project: https://github.com/MrOtherGuy/fx-autoconfig

Same happened to me! Edit: By following roberthawdon's instructions, I managed to restore the second sidebar aswell.

I tried following the steps mentioned (reinstalling fx-autoconfig + clearing startup cache) and it's not working for me unfortunately. v148 totally broke the sidebar for me.

no, it doesn't work.

I did check md5sum before and both are the same, because when I did a git pull, neither both files were updated

I also deleted the startup cache both through about:support and manually.

Ensure the profile files for fx-autoconfig are copied over again before clearing the cache. I initially only did the program directory to /usr/lib/firefox and that didn't work. It was only after updating the files in the chrome directory in my Firefox profile (that's the files in your home directory) and clearing the cache that the second sidebar came back.

Sorry, I should have made that clearer in my initial comment.

yeah, that made this working!

Thank you @roberthawdon !

I can confirm that that does the trick!

Thank you @roberthawdon !!!

[ThinkSalat]

Excellent, I can also confirm that this works as well.

[Asprofumo]

i can confirm too, thanks!

Just upgraded to v148.0.2. The second sidebar is gone. I replaced the fx‑autoconfig files in both the installation directory and the profile/chrome directory, but no luck. Is this happening to anyone else?
