When I click on a bookmarked page to open it, it only fills the left hand side of the screen....not the entire screen. My home page shows on the rest of the page. How can this be fixed.

hello vljens, right-click the bookmark, select properties & uncheck the option to open it in the sidebar in order to back to the normal behaviour.

Note that opening in the sidebar is the default for bookmarks that are created via a link or button on a website.

Thank you for your reply!

Before reading this answer, I had already done a System Restore dating it back to 9/30/12. This solved the problem. I have bookmarked your answer to my problem so I will know what to do IF it ever happens again.

Make sure that you update Firefox to the latest (16.0.1) version to get the latest security updates as you've most likely reverted to an older Firefox version.
