Workflowy was a bookmarked tab, I deleted it...But accessing different tab does not remove Workflowy from the display... I have the tabbed website I choose always sharing the display with Workflowy which I am unable to delete.. I can send you a screenshot to show you.

click Firefox button -> go to History and click Show All History -> Search for the website you want to remove from your history by typing its name in the Search History field in the top-right corner and then press Enter -> Then, in the search results, right-click on the site you want to remove, and click Forget About This Site

-> Close the Library window -> Restart Firefox

Check and tell if its working.

Looks like you have a bookmark that opens that site in the sidebar.

Opening in the side bar is the default for bookmarks that are created via a link or button on a website.
You can check the Properties of a bookmark via the right-click context menu in the side bar (Ctrl+B; Cmd+B on Mac).
In the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Details pane at the bottom right.
Make sure that "Load this bookmark in the side bar" is not selected.
