Decent idea but it doesn't let you full go half and half, it only works as a small sidebar. This also caused an issue with YouTube Music where the music would pause as soon as the YT Music tab lost focus. Even if I wasn't actively using the Side View, my music would pause as soon as I moved to a different tab. So I couldn't have music playing in the background while I do other things.

I love it! I run AI chat in the side view, always available for me.

I'd given it 5 stars if it had more options, like the option to specify shortcuts to different pages or setting a default page to load in it at startup.

Its broking some sites

Seems like a neat idea; however, it's clunky for anyone that puts their tabs in the sidebar since you can only show one or the other at a time, not both.

The idea is great, and one of the reasons I still enjoy another Browser VERY much for having this feature. But as it is implemented right now, the Side View is far too limited. Not being able to increase the width or having more than just one side view are dealbreakers (so is the "Side View" header, it wastes space)

Essential plugin that I can't do without anymore, thanks for the fix Google meet! Would it be possible to have this extension for ff mobile?

Please note: The Side View extension is not well compatible with another extension called Toggle Sidebery sidebar. 😅

This is perfect for quickly throwing an email I am referencing in the sidebar and copying the data over!

quite terrible. takes over your sidebar so if you have vertical tabs there you can say bye bye to them.

How to make side panel resizable:
Updated instructions for Feb 2024 (I'm on Firefox version 123)

- Go to about:support
- in Application Basics section find row called Profile Directory, click on Open Directory button
- Close all firefox running instances
- In that folder, find xulstore.json and open it with a text editor
- Find where it says "sidebar-box":{
- inside those brackets look for "style":
- inside this find width: and replace with the following:
width: 50%; max-width: none !important; min-width: 0px !important;

- if you did it correctly it should look like this: "style":"-moz-box-ordinal-group: 3; order: 1; width: 50%; max-width: none !important; min-width: 0px !important;","checked":"true"

- save the file and close, open Firefox and have fun :)

Cette extension pour firefox est vraiment très utile.
Je ne peut m'en passer. Le seul inconvénient c'est qu'elle n'est pas implémenter de base et qu'elle ne figure pas parmi les extension recommandée par Mozilla Firefox.

merci à la fondation pour le travail que vous faite en apparence.

Uma função boa mas parece que foi abandonada pela Mozilla! Última atualização a cinco anos! Seria bom uma atualização que redirecionasse a barra lateral automaticamente para um tamanho compatível com a leitura! Outra atualização seria ao clicar sobre o ícone do Side View, ele fechasse automaticamente, retornando para a função anterior na barra.

Looks bad in dark mode. The icon of the extension is black on dark background. Also would be cool if the list of recent and current tabs changed to a dark theme when dark mode is enabled. Please remove the icon in the website context menu. Context menus had icons in earlier versions of Firefox but all of the icons got removed.
