This issue most often occurs when you have clicked on a link on a web site to Bookmark the site. Avoid click on "Bookmark this site" or similar link/button on web sites.
To correct each of the affected Bookmarks, make sure that "Load this bookmark in the side bar" is not selected/checked by doing one of the following:
- Open the Bookmarks Sidebar (Ctrl+B to open or close the Bookmarks Sidebar), right-click the offending Bookmark, choose "Properties", last item at the bottom above "Save/Close" buttons
- In the Library window (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks), click the offending Bookmark, click the "More" button at the bottom of the Details pane (right-hand pane), item is the last item above the word "Less".

You may need to update some plug-ins. Check your plug-ins and update as necessary:
- Plug-in check --> http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/

Hi gestickles,
I'd try starting Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit.
Hopefully this helps!

Using CTRL+B at least put the bookmarks toolbar there which is acceptable. The rest to the suggested solution did nothing. I thank you all for the help. gestickles
