A "History Window" popped up on the left side of my main page. It is about 2 inches wide and runs down the side of the page. How do I get rid of this window, my main page is now too small.

Any of the following

  • click the "X" to the right of the word History at the top of that Sidebar
  • use CTRL+H to toggle the History Sidebar on or off (the Bookmarks Sidebar can be toggled on or off with CTRL+B)
  • press the ALT key or the F10 key to temporarily display the Menu Bar, and click View > Sidebar, click History to check or un-check (checked=displayed; un-checked=not displayed)
  • ALT+V+E+S to toggle the History Sidebar on or off (ALT+V+E+B to toggle the Bookmarks Sidebar on or off)
