Bookmark weirdness.

I have NBCNEWS bookmarked. If I click it it opens in the bookmarks sidebar.
Needless to say I have to close it then select, side bar, bookmarks to get my bookmarks side bar
back. I have maybe 100 bookmarks and only NBCNEWS does this. It's really not a problem. I just google nbcnews click the link and go. Just wonder why this is happening.

Win 7, latest Firefox.

But I did notice that if you right-click a bookmark and select Properties there is an option to tick a box to have it open in the sidebar. So I would right click your NBC bookmark and select Properties and verify that box is unticked.

Else you could just delete that bookmark and create a new one for NBCnews.
