Bookmark sidebar will not close (Ctrl-B does not work). "Load this bookmark in the sidebar" is not selected.
Using:- Firefox 34.0 / Windows 7 64bit
This problem started happening 2 days ago.
My sidebar is automatically opening a bookmarked URL, for which the option to "Load this bookmark in the sidebar" is not selected.
I am unable to close the sidebar, neither by clicking the 'x' button on the sidebar, not by using the Ctrl-B combination on the keyboard.
I have tried loading a different Bookmark to the sidebar, but this does not work either...
TIA

You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file.
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; Command+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.
The localstore.rdf file is no longer used in Firefox 34 and later releases and has been replaced by xulstore.json.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
