When downloading articles from newspaper a new window opens. Window has always opened reduced on the left side of desktop, recently it has started opening on the right side. I have tried moving it over to left side before closing the window & restarting Firefox, this worked one time. I have Javascript set up to not allow sites to move or resize windows, changing this setting had no effect. This only happens with Firefox.

If a bookmark previously opened in the sidebar on the left then check the details of that bookmark.

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.
You can set "Load this bookmark in the side bar" as you like it.
