Disable Sidebar

swingarm · June 19, 2024, 12:42am

When I reboot my computer and I open up Firefox there’s always a sidebar in each of the windows, is there any way to disable this? Running the most current version of Firefox and the Bitwarden extension on Windows 11.

I’ve searched all over but can’t find anything that will allow me to do this

Try clicking “More tools” in the Firefox hamburger menu, then clicking “Customize toolbar”. Find the “Sidebars” icon, and drag it into the toolbar. Now you can use that toolbar icon to toggle the sidebar.

## Describe the Bug Every time I re-open Firefox and it restores my previous session, the Bitwarden sidebar reappears on *every* window. I don't want it to open ever, and closing it has no effect. I looked in the options and there does not appear to be a "use sidebar" option. ## Steps To Reproduce  1. Open Firefox that has multiple window sessions 2. Bitwarden sidebar appears on every window ## Expected Result Bitwarden sidebar does not open unless requested, and if it is closed, it doesn't keep reopeining ## Actual Result It opens every time on every window 😳 ## Screenshots or Videos  ## Environment - Operating system: MacOS 11.5.1 Big Sur - Browser: Firefox 90.0.2 - Build Version: 1.26.5 ## Additional Context

Unfortunately those workarounds aren’t working for me, frustrating.
