One of my bookmarks only opens in a small window & can't be maximized
for some reason when I click on my YouTube channel now in my bookmarks, it only opens in a small window to the left & can’t be maximized, nor can I see the address on the top, if I open a new tab & click on any other bookmark it goes to that website, if I copy/paste my channel it goes to it, but if I open another tab & click on my bookmark for the channel & copy/paste again it closes 1 tab.
Also, it also looks like you can only have about 10 visible bookmarks in the unsorted area (unlike favorites in IE, where you can have a very long list including folders, & if its too long for the window you just go to the bottom & hover on the bottom arrow & it auto scrolls until you find the website).

Opening in the side bar 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 side bar (Ctrl+B; Cmd+B on Mac).
In the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Details pane at the bottom right.
Make sure that "Load this bookmark in the side bar" is not selected.

Well I would've never figured this out without your help so thanks. 1457 solutions!!! Great job, since I'm new to FF can I ask you another question later on if I cant find the answers elsewhere? thanks so much
You're welcome
Please help - I have the same problem but I don't have a (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) menu - I only have Bookmarks Toolbar and Bookmarks Menu, neither of which have a More/Details option. Not sure if I'm working on a different version - I only installed Firefox a week or two ago. Thanks in advance.
- "Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks" has been renamed to "Show All Bookmarks" in Firefox 4.
- Click the orange Firefox button to open the Firefox menu and click the Bookmarks entry or click "Show All Bookmarks" to open the Library.
I have this problem permanently. I cannot rid myself of the loaded area. It appears even if I restart FF4.0. I can move the divider, but the browser permanently displays 2 pages and the small one is not in a tab. The bookmarked site that FF loaded is now permanently displayed to the left of the screen no matter what I do.
