My bookmarks window is corrupted. I have to open it every time with shift + B, and then when I activate a bookmark, it removes the bookmarks and opens the requested site in the bookmarks window. I tried uninstalling Firefox and loading an older version but that didn't help, so I reinstalled version 4 but it's still doing the same thing. I can only expand the window about a third of the way to the right into the main window.

I'm running Windows 7, 64 bit.

Opening in the Sidebar is the default action for bookmarks that are created via a "Bookmark this Page" link or button on a website. Make sure you use the many "Bookmark this Page" methods that are in Firefox instead.

Right-click that bookmark and select Properties, then un-check the preference for Load this bookmark in the sidebar, and then click Save.

That fixed it. Only the first 6 bookmarks had that box checked. I have no idea how it happened, it just occurred all of a sudden.

Thanks
