Can you close this sidebar with the Ctrl+H keyboard shortcut?

Try to rename (or delete) the xulstore.json file in the Firefox profile folder.

Can you attach a screenshot if the above didn't help?

  • Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot
  • Make sure that you do not exceed the maximum size of 1 MB
