Firefox comes up with a split screen, left and right. Is this normal? (I don't like it, and would prefer to have only one pane open upon logging in.)

Firefox comes up with a split screen, the right side of which is the one I want to retain as the only opening window (blank), and the left side of which (a sign-on page for a favourite site) I would like not to have sitting there. Is this normal? Or did I somehow (erroneously) make it happen? How can I get rid of the left pane so that only one pane (the right, 'blank') appears when I log on to Firefox?

Opening in the Sidebar is the default action for bookmarks that are created via a "Bookmark this Page" link or button on a website. Make sure you use the many "Bookmark this Page" methods that are in Firefox instead.

Right-click that bookmark and select Properties, then un-check the preference for Load this bookmark in the sidebar, and then click Save.

Thank you for replying and for helping. Somehow it got fixed - after half an hour of trying everything I could think of that you might have meant by "Right-click that bookmark." I never did get anywhere that allowed me to select "Properties" nor to "Load this bookmark in the sidebar" nor to "save" but somehow or other the site no longer opens in a sidebar Thank you.
