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.

Yes, you have got it right. Since I changed the radio button to show/hide instead of expand/collapse now the sidebar disappears when I click on that icon in the toolbar. Sorry for not sharing the info but glad you figured it out and thanks for posting the solution.

I opened Firefox an hour ago to find this new Sidebar. I do not like it, and it is redundant. I already have History and Bookmarks at the very top of my browser.
I would like to have it gone, completely. I have tried the "chosen solution" but the Sidebar remains. I've tried everything I can think of, but the Sidebar remains. It appears to be immortal, and it's driving me insane.
I want it consigned to the Fires of Mordor. Help.
LOL
