- Rated 5 out of 5by Teobaldo, 5 years agoGreat extension!
It would be great if we could open URL like file:/// pages too.
Congrats for the extensions! "No permissions needed" is awesome.
P.S. I'm so sorry Firefox removed the native Open in sidebar function for bookmarks (in instead of improving it).Developer response

> It would be great if we could open URL like file:/// pages too.
I tried to open a file:/// page and it failed.
However, I think this is ideal behavior. If an add-on can open any local files, malicious developers can read and send all of files which include password, personal data and etc. Of course, my all add-ons do not read any personal data (and it is impossible because I published my source codes on github), yet add-ons must behave like this to protect users, I think.

This is what I am hoping for all add-ons.
My add-ons have been improved by requesting features. I was glad to receive your requesting even if it could not be realized. - Rated 5 out of 5by noonetbh, 5 years agoThe initial location is really good, I wish firefox would natively allow to set any link in the sidebar just like vivaldi

Thank you for reviewing.
A tab-specific sidebar may be really useful idea, but i have not added it because nobody requested it. I will add this feature.
However, the sidebar appears in all tabs even if this feature is enabled. This is a behavior of Firefox, so this extension cannot prevent it.
I am sorry to be late for replying. Please feel free to let me know should you have additional questions or feedback. - Rated 5 out of 5by Nils Trieu, 6 years agoNeat and really helpful! Please add an option to show/hide "Open in Sidebar" when we right click a bookmark item. Also a keyboard shortcut to send current tab into sidebar would be a huge timesaver. Thank you for your great work!

I was thinking about the feature of "Open the bookmark in the sidebar" for long time. It is a useful feature but it requires "bookmark permission"; it is a strong permission. I make my extensions not require permissions as much as possible, so I have not added the feature at this update.

A keyboard shortcut may conflict another one of other extensions. So I have added a similar feature.
Thanks to your feedback, my extension is being more useful. Please feel free to let me know should you have additional questions or feedback. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14529174, 6 years agoAbsolutely fantastic. I use this to create another instance of the Gmail tool sidebar. This allows me to edit notes in Google Keep while editing Tasks and the Calendar.
I would appreciate Container integration. I use Mozilla's container extension to keep my work and personal Gmail logged-in at the same time. It would be great to open the same source with different containers in the sidebar.Developer response

The new features of version 2.1 helps you to use Gmail quicker. I am happy if you and users enjoy the new features. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13423751, 7 years agoInstalled and worked right out of the box. This is how software should work.
