    great extension! it's almost perfect.
    just need to fix the problem when you close it and then open it again, the tabs refresh. thats a big problem for me because i want to use whatsapp web and other links that i dont want to refresh every time i open the panel, cause they're essentials to my productivity.
    take opera as example. the best sidebar among all browsers

    Hi there,

    Thank you for using Page Sidebar and for your 4-star rating.

    Page Sidebar uses the current Firefox Sidebar API. According to its design principle, when the panel is not visible, it gets unloaded, meaning it is also removed from memory. You can read more about this on the official Mozilla developer documentation:
    https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/user_interface/Sidebars
    If you would like to see improvements to the sidebar API, I encourage you to share your feedback directly with the Firefox team.

    Please for feedback or questions, use the support form:

    I am happy to help you over there.

    Thanks,

    I find it very useful as an AI assistant when browsing with Firefox. The setup is: Page Sidebar → local OpenWebUI (Docker) → local Ollama.

    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?

    Good extension, thanks for your efforts! One thing I hope can be improved is, every toggle it will clear the displaying page, I hope it can persist, at least survive toggles.

    Hi Tai Zhang,

    Thank you for using Page Sidebar and for your 4 star rating.

    There is already an option to keep the last opened tab. See in the Page Sidebar Options page -> Basic tab -> Start page -> When closing the sidebar, it will save the current URL. Upon reopening the sidebar, the last accessed URL will be loaded automatically.

    If you have any questions or need help, please do not hesitate to contact me at www.stefanvd.net/support
    I am happy to help you over there.

    Thanks,

    Using Firefox sync... when change the toolbar button design, the sync changes in reverse.
    Other than that, it's really good.

    Try to click again on the icon on the Options page. The Firefox extension uses the chrome.storage.sync feature, it should sync all settings.
