Why does my book mark for FaceBook open in a little square on the left side of my screen?

When I click on "FaceBook" book mark on my tool bar, it opens in a square, about 4 inches wide, the length goes the whole way down the screen. I have tried opening other book marks, facebook is the only one that does that. Puzzling. Thank's

That area on the left is called the sidebar. For example, if you press Ctrl+h then History should open there, Ctrl+b should open Bookmarks there.

But why is Facebook opening there? Each bookmark has the option to open in the sidebar. If you use a button in a website to create a bookmark, that option usually is turned on. Here's how you can turn it off:

right-click the bookmark > Properties

Toward the bottom of the small panel that opens, uncheck the box for "Load this bookmark in the sidebar"

Success?
