I want to open a toolbar favourite but it opens in half a page - I want a whole page!

I have located the 'toolbar favourites' , but if I try to open one of them, when on a page already, the box will open in a big 'sidebar' on the left hand side, this takes up just under half the page. I would like it to open in a full page with a new tab at the top - I don't ever need to be looking at 2 pages at the same time.

Right-click that bookmark and select Properties, then un-check the preference for Load this bookmark in the sidebar, and then click Save.

Using JavaScript buttons on web pages for "Bookmark this Page" causes that preference to be selected when saving the bookmark in that manner. So, don't use those buttons, use the "Bookmark this Page" feature that is built into Firefox instead.

Thanks! That worked for 3 0f the 4 that I check, but for some reason the last one is now opening in it's own little box - very odd! I can live with that - it's a 'not as often' site so doesn't matter as much. Thanks so much for your help!
