When I open a bookmarked page in Firefox on the Mac it opens on the left hand side as if in the Bookmark Toolbar preventing full viewing of the page. Why is this happening and how do I stop it?

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.
