My Sidebar is changing from a list of my bookmarks to a partial view of a website sometimes when I select a new link

I can't paste the image in here but I always browse with a bookmark sidebar always visible in my browser window. Recently but only rarely, when I select a new bookmark, the website will pop up in the sidebar window rather than the main window. If I hit the back button, it changes the main window. The only way to fix the issue is to go to the bookmark menu and select View Bookmarks in Sidebar.

Chosen solution

Right-click and open the Properties for that bookmark and un-check Load this bookmark in the sidebar.

Typically that box is selected when the Bookmark the Page button or link on a website is used rather than using the Bookmark this page feature from within Firefox.
