cause problem as for FF - solved disabling (conditionally) startPage 
from backend.php in the XCLASS for backend.php
and adding the function (conditionally) to the required file.
Works fine, but is complicated.
Making an option to disable left side menu in backend.php would be 
complicated because there are some JavaScript, which expects the menu to 
be exist => disabling would need some conditional alternative JS, when 
the menu would not exist. The related JavaScript creates always problems.
