open new blank tab and then my e-mail from the bookmark bar. When I choose another bookmark to open instead of opening in same window(automatically closing the open email tab) it loads as a split window with the email page and no close button on the new requested ling. have to shut down tab completely. need to know how to fix...did all the correct setting changes in options, but this only happens when I open my email link and not any other bookmark link.

A bookmark that opens in the sidebar 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 sidebar (Ctrl+B; Command+B on Mac). In the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks -> Show All Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Detail pane at the bottom right. Make sure "Load this bookmark in the sidebar" is not selected.
