Since I updated Firefox I now get a sidebar on the left side of the screen. I don't like it and would prefer for it not so show. I prefer to see my entire screen instead of something I didn't request.

What is in the sidebar?

If you see a web page then check the Home page setting and make sure that you do not open a bookmark in the sidebar.

If you see the Bookmarks or History sidebar then see:

I had the same problem. Couldn't stop the sidebar from loading when launching FF4. Finally just used the tried and true method: uninstalled FF4 and then re-installed it from a fresh download of the setup file (backed up my bookmarks first, of course, which is pretty easy in FF!). (When uninstalling, I checked the box for removing all personal preferences. This was key.)

After the re-install, the problem seems to have cleared up. I've re-imported my bookmarks and now I'm good to go. I may have to re-install a few add-ons, but that's ok since many of them weren't compatible with the new FF version anyway.

(PS: I'm using FF on a PC running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit.]
