Removing the Sidebar
Can someone please tell me how to disable the new Sidebar? It is interrupting all of my workflow on the screen and it is frustrating with all of the choice and customization options in Firefox, that there would be no way to disable it.

WARNING from the moderator team: Changing Firefox preferences from the about:config page can sometimes break Firefox or cause strange behavior. You should only do this if you know what you're doing. Please read Firefox advanced customization and configuration options to learn more.

However a lot of people seem to be reporting that it doesn't work for them so, if needed, an alternative method is:—
Type about:config
into the search/URL bar.
That will bring up a warning which you'll have to acknowledge as care needs to be taken from here.
On the next screen there's a search box at the top. Type or paste sidebar.revamp
into it. That will then appear below with the word true next to it. Double-click true and it will change to false and the sidebar will be no more.
