I update firefox and was asked how I wanted tabs displayed. I orignally had new tabs opening across the top of the screen but changed a setting so they came up on the sidebar. I want to go back to tabs across the top of the screen but can't find how to do this.

Having the tab bar displayed in the sidebar is not a built-in feature for Firefox. Check you list of extensions for one that adds that feature.

You may have the Tree Style Tab extension.
