There appears a sidebar that says Share under are icons showing what I assume are twitter, email and two other services. I want to delete this sidebar. How do I do it?

Hi,

You can try to Disable or Remove the Extension corresponding to the sidebar feature in Tools (Alt + T) > Add-ons.

Troubleshooting

Uninstalling add-ons

Uninstalling toolbars

Using extensions

Customizing Firefox

If problems persist you can reset Firefox and start afresh.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.

To Reset Firefox do the following:

  1. Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
  2. Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
  4. Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.


Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.
