Why do my bookmarks open in a side pannel instead of the main page?
Each time I try to use a bookmark I get a side pannel opening at the left hand side of the screen with the bookmarked page. There are scroll bars but it's impossible to work with. I have to use the icon in the task bar to open a second tab to get the full page version.

Try running Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

Right-click that bookmark and select Properties, then un-check the preference for Load this bookmark in the sidebar, and then click Save.
Using JavaScript buttons on web pages for "Bookmark this Page" causes that preference to be selected when saving the bookmark in that manner. So, don't use those buttons, use the "Bookmark this Page" feature that is built into Firefox instead.
The bookmark page Firefox feature was what I use to make the bookmarks. All of the boxes for loading the bookmark in the sidebar are unchecked so this is not the problem. Thanks for trying to help.
Thanks Xircal. :) That seems to have worked. Now all I have to do is figure out which of the add ons is causing it.
You're welcome.
If you have a large number of them, you could try enabling 50% first. If it works OK, then you know that the culprit is located somewhere in the other half.
