Cannot close the bookmark sidebar

I use FireFox on Windows XP SP3.

I chose a bookmark in the bookmark drop down menu. Instead open a new tab, the URL to the bookmark opened in the bookmark sidebar to the left of the main tab content.

Now, I can't close or destroy the Bookmark sidebar. It takes a lot of the screen and it's very frustrating that I can't close or minimize.

Please let me know if you have any tips on what to do to get rid of him.

Thank you.

Update:

I was able to close the sidebar by selecting the menu item view > sidebar > bookmarks. So, the problem is almost solved. However, I wasn't able to get the sidebar to close by selecting the x in the upper right of the sidebar. There seems to be a bug in this mechanism to close the sidebar.

Thank you.

Bookmarks that open in the sidebar is the default value for the bookmarks created via a link or a button on a Web site to add a bookmark for this site.

  • Check the properties of a bookmark using the context menu in the side bar (Ctrl + B; Cmd + B on Mac).
  • In the Bookmark Manager (Bookmarks > show all bookmarks) you can click on the button more in the lower details pane on the right.
  • Make sure that "Load this bookmark in the sidebar" is not selected (uncheck it).

    You can also open your Preferences cc dialog box and not start cc when you connect if this prompt mind.  Just run the application cc, at most once a month.

  • Remove the extraneous information in the bookmarks sidebar

    Is attached a screenshot of Mozilla Firefox 42 on my Windows 7 PC. I like having the bookmarks bar, but want to remove the foreign text following at the top of the sidebar:

    1. the word "Bookmarks" immediately under the top left of the sidebar bookmarks bar
    2. the word "Seek" and next to it search engine
    3. the words "Personal bar" in the search window. (Even if I hold the toolbar of bookmarks with links to those sites that I visit often to be visible. I just useless the 'personal bar' on the box.)

    Please look at the picture before you answer. This will make clear what I'm trying to delete.

    Any tips? Thanks for your help.

    You can hide the line with the tag of Favorites and the close icon and the search by the userChrome.css code bar, but you can't hide the bookmarks toolbar because this entire content consists of a single treechildren element.

    Add code to the file userChrome.css below default @namespace.

    @namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
    
    #sidebar-header, #search-box { display:none!important; }
    

    The file userChrome.css (UI) customization and userContent.css (Web sites) are located in the folder of chrome in the Firefox profile folder.

    You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:

    • Create the folder chrome (lowercase) in the .default < xxxxxxxx > profile folder if the folder does not exist
    • Use a text editor like Notepad to create a userChrome.css (new) file in the folder chrome (file name is case sensitive)
    • Paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the Editor window
    • Make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line
    • Make sure that you select "All files" and not "text files" when you save the file via "save file as" in the text editor as userChrome.css.
      Otherwise, Windows can add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with one does not not userChrome.css.txt file

  • How the bookmark sidebar to restore its position of scroll at startup of Firefox?

    Why Firefox not restore the sidebar bookmark scroll position and open folders to the exact state it was when I closed the browser?
    I confess I have far too many bookmarks, but especially then restore the scroll position and open folders is essential for me.
    Is it all "subject: config ' setting to fix this?

    I don't think that the position of ScrollBar to the bookmarks bar is stored in the file localstore.rdf (does not for me also), so you can't keep this position in a session.

  • When I click on a bookmark, it opens in the bookmark sidebar, not in the main window.

    I want a selected bookmark to open in the main window when I click on it (as it has always done before)

    Bookmarks that open in the sidebar is the default value for the bookmarks created via a link or a button on a Web site to add a bookmark for this site.

    • Check the properties of a bookmark using the context menu in the side bar (Ctrl + B; Cmd + B on Mac).
    • In the Bookmark Manager (Bookmarks > show all bookmarks) you can click on the button more in the lower details pane on the right.
    • To ensure that "Load this bookmark in the sidebar" is not selected (uncheck it).
  • Cannot delete the bookmark

    Information system: Ubuntu 11.10, running Firefox-trunk 12.0a1 (2012-01-21), cannot remove bookmarks.

    One possible cause is a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

    See "basic troubleshooting: a new profile:

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.

    If this new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

  • The title bar has stopped working and now I can't close the page with the cross or minimize or maximize, cannot close the pages

    Toolbar is not functional cannot use the cross at the top to close and cannot minimize or maximize the pages.

    What program is this (name and version)?

    Are you sure that the title bar is not hidden because the screen is in full screen mode?  Make sure it is in normal mode (usually hit the ESC key will do that).  When you say that you "cannot minimize or maximize or close pages" is because you don't see these icons or press them, and they do not work?  You see the title bar?  Is it the same with EACH program or all instances of this particular program, or only with this page?

    If it's an open program, you can still use the toolbar at the bottom of the screen and do a right click on the prgram open and then click Close.  If it isn't there, it can also be hidden. Move your mouse to the bottom of the screen and see if the toolbar appears.  If so right click on it and select properties and uncheck Hide able toolbar and click OK to close - that way it will always show (except when it is in full screen mode).

    You can also press CTRL-ALT = DEL to bring up the Manager tasks, go to Applications and select the program that you want to close, and then click end task.

    If you have access to the Menu bar, you can usually go into file, and then click close tab or simply close.
