For years the Bookmarks panel on the left side would open when I press Ctrl-B. Now it opens Bing. How can I fix this?

Does the sidebar open correctly if you use View > Sidebar?

  • Press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the hidden Menu bar.

There aren't any extensions listed in the System Details List that could cause this, so I'm not sure why this would happen.

Are you sure that you aren't opening a specific bookmark in the sidebar?

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