When i open firefox, the, i think it's called the history menu, opens in the left had side too and i would like this to stop.

it's the bar that runs from the top to bottom of the left hand side of firefox. i have no idea how this started, it didn't do this before, and i am starting to get annoyed. i looked through the settings, and google and couldn't find how to stop it. could someone give me the step by step?

*CTRL+H opens or closes the History Sidebar (it says "History" at the top)
*CTRL+B opens or closes the Bookmarks Sidebar (it says "Bookmarks" at the top)
*For either Sidebar, clicking the small "x" to the right of "Histtory"/"Bookmarks" will close the Sidebar
*If the Sidebar is open when you close/exit Firefox, it will be there when you open/re-start Firefox.
