Sidebar: how to keep it from uninvitedly appearing

Hi all; the subject line pretty much sopeaks for itself. Lately (within the past few days), whenever I open a new webpage, the sidebar appears. Until now it would only appear when I wanted it to, but now it's doing it on its own and it's annoying as ****. I've tried everything I can think of to stop this, so I'm giving you all the outstanding opportunity to help me remedy this aggravation. Many great thanks in advance!

Does this occur when you open a new window (Command+N)? If the sidebar is open in any window, there's a good chance it will be displayed automatically in a new window. Simply opening a new tab in the same window (Command+T) should not open the sidebar, although maybe an add-on could do that.
