Firefox splits the page with two windows on the right and left when I choose a Bookmark. How do I make that stop?

When I click on a bookmark or type a bookmarked address into FireFox, instead of opening a full page tab it will split the screen in two, with my starting page on the right side and the new page on the left. As far as I know I don't have the multiple tabs on one window add-on, but I can't stop this from happening.

Opening in the side bar is the default for bookmarks that are created via a link or button on a website.

You can check the Properties of a bookmark via the right-click context menu in the side bar (Ctrl+B).

In the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Details pane at the bottom right.

Make sure that "Load this bookmark in the side bar" is not selected.
