If you want, vote for my proposal to allow 2 sidebars in Firefox!
Firefox gets vertical tabs and a sidebar, cool huh? And you can open pages as sidebar popups, for example a small dictionary page, or a notepad or whatever else!
But when using vertical tabs and these site popups, it looks pretty ugly and pushes the main site to the edge.
Having a sidebar and a vertical tab bar would fix this.
Current state and mockup as images attached.
This is how it currently is: the sidebar and the vertical tab bar are the same. Placed extensions are unintuitive and popup windows (like Mozillas SideView or dedicated extensions) are next to the tabs, pushing the main website even further to the side
This is how I would like it to be. A sidebar and a tab bar. Extensions go on the sidebar and the tab bar is just for tabs. The browser view is centered and clean.
(Tbh I would like tabs on the left but I am too lazy to edit the mockup)
Zen allows sidebar and tabs on other side?
The simpler proposal would not make Sidebery work, because it is a sidebar popup and thus either that or the other things display.
So that would need 2 real sidebars
Yes, I have tabs on the left and sidebar opens on the right.
Damn. Probably because they have their own tab implementation right?
Indeed. It uses some of the vertical tabs features in Firefox, but adds workspaces (~tabbed tab window) that you can assign default containers (like banking, personal, shopping) to. Tab groups are missing, but are being worked on. Don’t expect nested tabs or trees like Sideberry or TST offer though. Honest disclosure: the implementation is not fully polished yet. The location where new tabs are opened or their remembered location after closing/opening the browser is not consistent.
