I clicked on a bookmark and instead of the full screen opening it only opens in a panel on the left about 1/3 full size.

Bookmarked pages opening in the side bar is generally caused by Bookmarks that are created via clicking on a link or button on a website to create a Bookmark for the page.

Make sure that "Load this bookmark in the side bar" is not selected/checked.

  • Open the Bookmarks Sidebar (Ctrl+B to open or close the Bookmarks Sidebar), right-click the offending Bookmark, choose "Properties", last item at the bottom above "Save/Close" buttons
  • In the Library window (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks), click the offending Bookmark, click the "More" button at the bottom of the Details pane (right-hand pane), item is the last item above the word "Less".
