How can i get rid of this side-by-side split screen where it displays two websites at once, covering most of one of them up?

Right now, I am looking at my screen and this mozilla webite is occupying the right hand 75% of the screen. On the left hand 25% of my screen, I'm seeing a portion of the stock market website I want see and I can't close the window on the right hand side of the screen without shutting down Mozilla completely. I know tha this has something to do with settings because this happened when I was messing around with settings but I can't reverse it. Thanks!!!!!

Chosen solution

Opening in the sidebar is the default for bookmarks that are created via a link or button on a website. You can check the properties of a bookmark via the right-click context menu in the sidebar (Ctrl+B; Command+B on Mac). In the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Details pane at the bottom right. Make sure that "Load this bookmark in the sidebar" is not selected.

You were exactly right! Thanks so much! I was really exasperated by this!
