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 &gt; Show All Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Details pane at the bottom right.
Make sure "Load this bookmark in the sidebar" is not selected.

<p>You can use the SQLite Manager extension to generate a list of bookmarks that open in the side bar.

<ul><li> SQLite Manager: <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/sqlite-manager/" rel="nofollow">https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/sqlite-manager/</a>
</li></ul>
<ol><li> Open Profile Directory -&gt; places.sqlite -&gt; Go
</li><li> Hit the "Execute SQL" tab

To check:
</p>
<ul><li> If it's just one or a couple of bookmarks: right-click a bookmark, choose Properties, then look for a checkbox toward the lower left for opening in the sidebar.
</li></ul>
<ul><li> If you need to check many bookmarks: open the Library dialog (Ctrl+Shift+b or "Show All Bookmarks"), then click the More button at the bottom to show the full set of fields. You can arrow down that "Other Bookmarks" list watching the checkbox, and/or use search box at the upper right or the navigation pane on the left to find the bookmarks you want to check and arrow through those.
</li></ul>
<p>If the checkbox seems to have gotten turned on for a lot of bookmarks, there could be a little damage to your database, but hopefully that's not the problem.
