Recently a "gear" icon has appeared on the bottom left of my screen while using Mozilla. It relates to moving the tabs. I don't want to do anything with my tabs. How can I get rid of the icon? The icon reduces the horizontal screen space available. I have a small laptop so this small amount of space is important.

Thanks for your help! Cindy

Hi,

Those are settings for the sidebar. You can hide the sidebar by going to Firefox Settings, scrolling down to Browser Layout and unchecking "Show sidebar".
