Can I disable or remove the new sidebar that appeared today with the latest update?
I updated my desktop browser today and now there is an expandable sidebar at the left margin of the window showing tool icons for Tabs from other devices, History and Customize sidebar. I can see how to remove tool icons and how to expand or collapse sidebar but can I remove the sidebar completely? Is this an option? I prefer the old look with the browser web page content extending all the way to the left of the screen, without the narrow vertical sidebar.

So, what I assume the solution they found was to change the behavior of the new sidebar button to hide the sidebar instead of the default of "expands and collapse" it.

this answer doesn't work. Now I have a blank sidebar, what fool thought this up? Did they work for Jaguar before this job? How do I get rid of the side bar? FIREFOX do something, give me a rep to call or I can just ditch you for a different browser.

Don't listen to the haters, the new sidebar is great! I actually got here because I was trying to understand why one of my machine had the sidebar and the other didn't, since I wanted it on both

The problem is, with the revamp, the revamp wastes a ton of space by forceably adding a veritical bar on the left. Use Tree Style Tabs, or some such, and you waste a bunch of space now. Screen real estate is the most precious thing we have, don't spend it for me.

Wow! More malware from Mozilla! I'm getting really fed up with these changes. Very irritating that it popped up without asking me. I had to stop what I wanted to do and find out how to remove the sidebar. Now I'm stuck with an icon for the sidebar at the top of the page.
To completely get rid of this annoying sidebar, go to about:config, then set sidebar.revamp to false
