I would like to turn off the bookmarks sidebarhow do I do this?
For some reason a bookmarks sidebar has appeared on my firefox home page. I did not ask for this and I do not want this as it seams to squash all my pages when i go on the web. If I can not remove this sjdebar on the left hand side of my screen I will remove firefox as my web provider. I should have been given the choice to have this sidebar or not, not just have you put it on. Also I have never used yahoo I prefer google why have I been forced to have this on my computer?

Not related to your question, but...
You need to update some plug-ins:

- Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in: Installing (or Updating) the Shockwave plugin with Firefox

Click on View icon at top[ of screen, uncheck sidebar option :)
Just tried to keep it simple in my first answer.
BumbleBeeBurton: That works only if the Menu Bar is displayed or the user knows how to temporarily display the Menu Bar if the user is using the default Firefox button in Windows 7.
