As I sure some folks are aware, the hotkey F9 will toggle the bookmarks
sidebar on and off in SeaMonkey. I'd like to be able to do this by
mouse-clicking an icon on the menu or navigation bar, but unlike in
Firefox or PaleMoon this seems not to be possible in SeaMonkey, as the
offering in the customization panel will transpose the contents of the
bookmarks dropdown menu to the sidebar.

The difference here is that if you have your bookmarks organized into
subfolders, the sidebar will display them as part of the overall tree
within the governing width of the panel. In the dropdown menu there are
two separate panels one for the folders and one for the bookmarks, and
there is no governing width for the display, which for me is about 1/3
the width of my screen, so there really is no point in toggling the
sidebar.

I couldn't find any workarounds, including running the FireFox bookmarks
toggler extension through the SeaMonkey extension converter. Maybe
someone can suggest a workaround.

You might be happier with a bookmarks menu in the bookmarks toolbar.  I
created one by opening the bookmarks manager, dragging "All Bookmarks"
to the right end of the bookmarks toolbar and dropping it there.

Yes, good idea, that does work. I was even able to move it about 80% of the way over to the right (where my sidebar is) using the spacers. Since I don't use the menu bar, I tried to put it on the menu and navigation bars, but no luck there.

Best solution of all: fix the button in the Customize panel to make it more useful.
