Try using the settings wheel at the lower left of the button bar.

Hi zztofu, if you want to hide it completely, that's a two-step process:

(1) Change the setting for what the Sidebars toolbar button does, and (2) Click the Sidebars toolbar button to hide the sidebar

Sidebar Button Setting

Click the gear wheel at the bottom of the vertical button bar, then change the behavior of the button from expand/collapse to show/hide. I'm attaching a picture for reference:

After you make that change, you can use the X to close the "Customize sidebar" panel.

Click the Sidebars button

This button should be near the back/forward/reload buttons (as shown in the above image). If yours is missing, you can add it using the Customize feature (Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars). I'm attaching a picture for reference:

Success?
