I have used firefox for years as my browser with my home page set to google. I have always had a bookmarks toolbar but never a bookmarks side bar and do not want one. The other day a bookmarks side bar suddenly appeared. I have moved it from left side to right side and can delete it temporarily by using CTRL +B, but can't find a way to permanently remove it, i.e. make the default setting so that the side bar doesn't appear. can you help?

In my case Firefox starts with the side panel resuming in whatever state it was in when Firefox last closed.

Have you tried closing all but one Firefox window, then ensuring that the side panel is closed in that last window, before closing that too?

Hopefully Firefox will then start with no side panel from now on.
