I've lost my ability to have multiple tabs open on my computer

Windows 11/Firefox/Google

Firstly, my apologies, but I only have a very basic understanding of computers.

I somehow ended up fiddling with a side bar on the right hand side of my screen, and the next thing I knew I had lost the ability to have multiple tabs open on my screen. I tried google a solution and came up with this:

"View>Cusomise toolbar in browers. Look for the new tab button. If its there, drag it back to the toolbar, typically to the right of the existing tab."

I tried that, but it didn't work. The plus sigh came out on the left rather than the right of my search bar, and every time I clicked it I just got a new page, rather than a new tab being added to the existing one.

I would be grateful if anyone has a solution to this issue.
