How can I change the split screen back to original screen?
Using Firefox for months with full page screen on my laptop when suddenly it changed to a split screen while I was on an AARP game site and it stays that way now - making it useless by cutting off pertinent info when I search for other sites. The left side stays on ther AARP site but the right moves to a new site as I browse.

It sounds like you have a Bookmark for the AARP site that is opening in the Sidebar. That usually happens when you click on a link on a site to add their Bookmark to your browser. Add the Bookmark the "old fashioned" way to avoid that from happening. See How do I create a bookmark
To remedy your current situation with that Bookmark:
- open the Bookmarks Sidebar (CTRL+B opens or closes the Bookmarks Sidebar)
- right-click on the affected Bookmark and choose "Properties"
- near the bottom, un-check "Load this bookmark in the side bar"
- click "Save"
- close the Bookmark Sidebar (CTRL+B)
- try clicking on the just change Bookmark to verify that it no longer opens in the Sidebar
