Hi, Henrique

Thanks for reviewing.
I am glad to hear that you're enjoying this extension! Certainly, the sidebar does not work in background. This is the behavior of Firefox's sidebar (and a sidebar of all most all browsers do so).

    I there a way to prevent links from other domains to open in a new tab so I can fluently navigate always inside the sidebar?

    Hi, Arcami

    Thanks for reviewing.
    The only certain way to open in the sidebar is to right-click the link and choose 'Open in Sidebar'. The behavior of opening the link when you just press it depends on the setting of the link. I mean this extension cannot control it without right clicking.
    However, other extensions (e.g. Always open in current tab) may help you.
    If you have any additional questions, please feel free to ask or open an issue on GitHub.

    Hi, the addon is great I just have a question. Do you know the Sidebery addon. In its settings, there is a place to set the title so that we can control it in css. Ex: [titlepreface*=“Sidebery”]. I wonder if you can add this feature for this addon? Since sidebarcommand has been deprecated, we cannot select the sidebar with css. Thanks.

    Hi, Baki Nazik

    Thanks for reviewing.
    I understand your requirements but I need to ask some questions because the sidebar already has the title. Conversation in this location is too hard, so can you create an issue about this on Github?

    It completely delivers the functionality I expected. It would be nice to have a browse back button if possible.

    Hi, darlington95

    Thanks for reviewing.
    I know that many users want the feature. Let me try implementing the feature later.
    If you have an additional request, please let me know on GitHub.

    P.S. Sadly this feature is impossible to be implemented at this time because there is no way to get the url of the sidebar.

    It works well, the updates are recent, it has interesting features that you can customize and for users used to looking at extensions permissions one can only be happy.

    does not use the corresponding container when opening sites on the sidebar.

    Great extension. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. The extension is helping me a lot. It is not possible to listen to music on Youtube Music, for example, without the sidebar being open. But I imagine this is a limitation of Firefox. There is a similar feature on Edge, for example.

    Great extension! It would be even better if it also had an optional monochromatic icon displayed in the address bar (in the same way as old Mozilla's Side View add-on) so if the user doesn't like to have the main toolbar overcrowded by extension icons, they can have quick access to the tool without a need to search for it on the long list of add-ons.

    Hi, Jed

    Thanks for reviewing.
    It may be great idea but I want to ask you why this extension need to have a monochromatic icon displayed in the address bar. Please tell me if you have usage examples.
    Edit:
    The icon in the address bar is not intended to avoid overcrowded so I don't add this at this time.

    Love that the extension does not require any unnecessary permissions out of the box and only requests them when required. Great job!

    Hi, Gokul Soumya

    Thanks for reviewing.
    I wonder why other extensions require many permissions. I hate it. So I develop extensions which do not require a permission as possible as it can.
  • ruma Firefox okisanel 16926622, 2 jierren lyn
    Wonderful extension, works great. also, you can easily combine this with sidebery to have vertical tabs.

    just assign a keyboard shortcut for both extensions and easily switch between the two.

    just change the mode to 'window' instead of 'tab'

    I love it so far. Is it possible to have the link in sidebar auto-refresh periodically?

    Tzolin rutzij b'anonel

    Hi,

    Thanks for reviewing.
    Unfortunately, it is impossible. Firefox does not provide a way like this for the sidebar.

    nice.

    For any one want to remove the width limitation: https://superuser.com/questions/1276800/customize-the-maximum-width-of-the-firefox-sidebar

    feature request:
    add option to "auto detect protocol"
    make dpi scale same as tab
    hover on/drag the link to open in sidebar

    P.S.
    about dpi scale, is it possible add a toggle to switch in two custom zoom level? or sets the zoom level based on the screen resolution, just like "ffreszoom".

    Hi,

    Thanks for reviewing.

    > add option to "auto detect protocol"
    Certainly. I should add this feature. A user don't need to choose a protocol if a link is https.

    > make dpi scale same as tab
    I will think about this later.

    > hover on/drag the link to open in sidebar
    The former requires injecting a new script to a web page. Basically I don't add a feature like this type.
    The latter requires Firefox API but they don't provide the feature currently.

    If you have an additional requests, please tell me by modifying this review, sending an e-mail or opening a new issue on GitHub.

    P.S.
    I tried to add 'make dpi scale same as tab' but it was not able to be done. A sidebar needs to get information of the page in the sidebar but it is not supported by Firefox.
    I am working on adding "auto detect protocol". You can check the issue to track the status.

    Works but not for my purposes. Would be nice if it could load FF system pages. I was hoping to use this as an addon troubleshooting tool but alas, it can't load the addons page because http/https protocols are baked in.

    Hi,

    Thanks for reviewing. Unfortunately, Firefox does not allow a sidebar to open a system page. If it tries to load a system page, it causes an error.
    By the way, this is ideal behavior. If an add-on can open a system page, a malicious add-on can read data which has personal information.

    Nice - Just go to settings and add your link (press Enter to save a permanent link)

    Works easily and as expected out of the box. Out of curiosity, does it respect Containers? That is, if I were to open Facebook Messenger in the sidebar, would it open in my Facebook Container? If not, that would be a super useful feature.

    Also, the option to keep clicked links in the sidebar would be cool, or perhaps a keyboard shortcut (ctrl+shift+click? I dunno if that's already something...) that keeps them there. That way, I could follow a link in the sidebar without affecting opening a new tab. I know I can do this already with a right click, but not having to open the context menu to do it would be cool.

    Another nice feature would be the ability to request a mobile site. Because mobile sites are formatted for a narrower screen, it would make some sites easier to use.

    Not a big deal, just a couple suggestions. I love the no-permissions stuff. Great job!

    Hi, s20
    Thank you for reviewing.

    > That is, if I were to open Facebook Messenger in the sidebar, would it open in my Facebook Container?
    I don't know that Facebook Container works with my extension. If Facebook Container needs to read contents of a tab, it doesn't work in the sidebar because it cannot read contents in the sidebar. If Facebook Container just blocks contents (like Adblock) it maybe work.

    > I love the no-permissions stuff.
    It is what Firefox users want.

    My add-ons have been improved by requesting features. Please feel free to let me know should you have additional questions or feedback.
