Try clearing that page from the sidebar by loading your bookmarks in there (Ctrl+b) and then closing it (Ctrl+b again).

Then use the Home button to reload your home page. Does the sidebar page come back? If so, what is your home page setting under:

orange Firefox button or classic Tools menu > Options > General > Startup

If the page is not listed as a home page, I wonder whether an add-on is loading it??

Sorry, the forum software doesn't allow direct pasting of screen shots. If you post a reply, you can attach the image file using the Browse button below the textbox. This article has some tips on saving it to file: How do I create a screenshot of my problem?

Looks that you are opening that page in the sidebar.

Opening in the sidebar is the default for bookmarks that are created via a link or button on a website.
You can check the Properties of a bookmark via the right-click context menu in the sidebar (Ctrl+B; Cmd+B on Mac).
In the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Details pane at the bottom right.
Make sure that "Load this bookmark in the sidebar" is not selected.
