Hi, I can't close the "History" box and it is restricting my viewing of web pages / emails, could somebody please help..

more options

A while ago, I clicked or double-clicked near the top left hand side of the page whilst I was on email, by accident. This opened up a "History" box, about 2 and a half inches wide, and the full length of the page... There is a "Searvh" bos at the top of it, and the topics listed are "Today", "Yesterday", "Last 7 days" and "This month". Also, options for Bookmarks and the likes have gone from the tab at the top. It is there constantly, and is making it difficult for me to view and read web pages and emails erc. I would be really grateeul if anybody could give any advie, have asked friends, but they don't know.
