Thanks a lot, I avoided recent builds because they lack the bookmarks sidebar.
A few comments:
The sidebar should remember the folder open state.
The Bookmarks Toolbar Folder should be shown as well like it used to be.
Ctrl+Shift+B doesn't work:
"Warning: Key event not available on GTK2: key="b" modifiers="accel,shift"
Source File: chrome://browser/content/browser.xul
Line: 0"
I'd use Ctrl+B like it used to be. The Places window doesn't need a shortcut IMHO.

Are you sure you're on the right thread, this extension doesn't add anything new?
@Steffen
Thanks, both of your comments are on my todo list.
About the Ctrl-Shift-B, it looks like there's some limits I didn't know about. I'm really not happy with changing one of Firefox's own keys, so I'm not sure what to do at the moment.

Here's Classic Sidebars 0.6.3.
Note: If you're on branch this will only install into the 2006-03-17 nightly (or later). It will install into earlier trunk builds but won't work properly until you upgrade to the 2006-03-17 build (or later).
Fixes:
- maxVersion bumpage.
- Compatibility fixes for latest Places changes.

OK, the part about Opera threw me a bit, I thought you were commenting on an extension that added an Opera feature and accidentally posted on the wrong thread.

Pike,
Thanks for the quick update for 2.0a1 - same day service! Much appreciated.
I have a request, which addresses Steffen's question about holding the folder position.
Could you take a look at the Grippies 0.1+ (repackaged) {at TEM} extension and see if you can incorporate those functions into Classic Sidebars?
Grippies 0.1+ (repackaged) works properly (installed with NTT 0.8b2) in 20060317-2.0a1 in conjunction with Classic Sidebars 0.6.3 - the biggest advantage [IMHO] of Grippies is that the Sidebar doesn't really get closed, just 'parked', and the postion of the open bookmark folder structure doesn't change when the Sidebar is retracted. The 'Grip' occupies ~ 5 pixels on the left side of the browser window, a minor intrusion given the advantages provided.
This enhancement would be very helpful for users with a large bookmarks file and extensive folder structure.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Mine has wandered off and I'm out looking for it.

My goal is to replicate the old sidebars as closely as possible, I want to avoid adding extra features beyond that if I can. Someone else is probably working on a super-places-sidebars extension that will obsolete this one, so hopefully those who need more features will be able to have them at some point.

Here's Classic Sidebars 0.6.4.
Note: This requires a 2006-03-23 nightly (or later).
Fixes:
- Compatibility fixes for latest Places changes.
Thanks Ria, the above link contains a fixed version, <del>I'll update the link in the original post once all the nightlies are out and people have had a chance to update</del>. This doesn't work in Bon Echo Alpha 1, I think I'll keep 0.6.3 around for those people.

Pike, thank you so much for your timely updates on the Classic Sidebars. I am testing the Bon Echo release and would probably not being doing it without my beloved sidebar. Just curious, is there a way to allow the theme to override your default bookmark button? Not a big deal, but I kind of like the different theme bookmark buttons. Thanks again for the work.

I'm not putting 0.6.4 on the updateURL because it will break Bon Echo Alpha 1 people, I need to either add UA sniffing to my update.xml page or support both browser versions in the same XPI, I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to do that (blame Oblivion).
