Is it possible to add optional tab previews on hover, like e.g. in Brave?

Maybe it could be done using -moz-element() CSS function?

In Firefox's default tab view, middle clicking on any free space would open up a new tab. It would be very useful to have something similar with Sidetabs, where middle clicking anywhere in the red area (image below) would open up a new tab.

Requesting feature of dragging links to sidebar so that it opens in a new background tab.
Similarly drag text to sidebar so that it search the text in default search engine in a new background tab.
Just like how it works in default tabbar at top.

while the tab bar is expanded, right-clicking a tab will immediately make the tab bar lose focus and thus collapse, making it harder to understand which tab the context menu will affect. I think the tab bar should remain expanded until focus is actually lost.

(thanks for making this!)

Please add an option to show the tab close button on all tabs at all time, just like the default tabbar at top.

Sorry, I don't know how to reproduce it, but thought I'd pass it along anyway.

I didn't do anything unusualy as far as I know. The other two browser windows were uneffected.

Screenshots below.

In vanilla Firefox, we have the possibility to add new tab in a container. I think that feature is useful and it is missing from the current version of SideTabs

When the tab bar is shrunk (showing only favicons), the audio playing indicator (♪) is hidden unless I hover on the tab bar. Please make it an overlay over the icon, so it is always visible.

With a list of tabs longer than can be displayed vertically, and opening a new tab (e.g. at the bottom of the list), the list does not scroll to the bottom to show the active tab.

Not a big deal, but it would be a nice to have.

Thank you.

It's the only two essential features that all the other "sidebar/vertical" tabs addons have, that Sidetabs doesn't, which is torture considering that this is the only addon that actually works and offers all the other essential features (like scrollable pinned tabs) ...

Hello,

First off, thanks for the great extension. I got used to a vertical tab bar like this in Brave but have been wanting to move back to Firefox for a while. Thanks!!

Not sure what it's called but on the far left of the tabs bar is a button which shows open tabs on other devices (screenshot below).

Not sure if it's possible, but it would be lovely if there was a way to preserve access to this button when the top tab bar is hidden by Sidetabs.

Best wishes from Wellington. :-)

After installing Simple Tab Groups I went to change svg.context-properties.content.enabled to true to allow light coloured icons to show in dark mode. Restarting firefox after doing this made the sidebar white and unusable. This behaviour still occurs even if Firefox Color is disabled. Any help would be appreciated.

1. Make sidebar expand on hover optional
2. Also add just a tooltip with tab title when you hover over the favicons in the unexpanded sidebar

I realize this can be done manually pretty easy by just removing the #sidebar:hover style from userChrome.css (which I have done), but I think it should be an easy toggle in settings. Still missing 2) tho 😊

Since Sidetabs does not (yet) support grouping, please consider adding support for additional separators as a half-step towards that goal. I see that they are already present between pinned tabs, unpinned tabs, and the New Tab button -- but they can't be customized in any way.

There's some ambiguity on the naming. Maybe it's just the repo name that needs the lowercase "tabs".

When using this extension with the extension Adaptive Tab Bar Color (changes window color depending on the active tab), the color of the sidebar changes for both windows depending on which one is active. Desired functionality would be that both windows color are independent depending on the tab in that window and match the Firefox header of that window regardless of which window is active.

Is there a way to disable:

this header/bar from the sidebar ?

Thank you!

Just like you have "Close tabs to the right" on vanilla Firefox tabs, you should add an option on the right click tab menu to close all tabs above or below that tab.
