About

Sidebery is a highly configurable sidebar with panels of different types. Some of the key features:

  • Vertical tabs panels with tree or flat layout
  • Bookmarks panels
  • History panel
  • Search in panels
  • Customizable context menu
  • Customizable styles
  • Snapshots (saved windows/panels/tabs)
  • ...and more

Incompatibility with other addons

Sidebery may conflict with addons that handle position of new tabs (e.g. Tree Style Tabs) or addons that move/sort tabs, which may result in unexpected behavior or broken tabs state at initialization. To avoid potential issues, please, disable such addons in Add-ons Manager page (about:addons).

How to hide native (horizontal) tabs?

Firefox doesn't allow addons to hide native tabs, so you have two options:

  • You know CSS and can maintain it after Firefox updates: Use userChrome.css hack
  • Otherwise: Use Floorp (github)
    • Install Sidebery
    • In Floorp settings set:
      • Design >> Tab Bar Style >> Horizontal Tab Bar
      • Design >> Tab Bar >> Hide tabs on Horizontal Tab Bar
      • [To hide the sidebar header] Design >> Tab Bar Style >> Collapse Tree Style Tab
      • [To auto-hide sidebar] Use "Lepton UI" and check its settings

Build

Prerequisites: latest LTS Node.js version

  1. Install dependencies: npm install
  2. Build all parts of Add-on: npm run build
  3. Create Add-on archive in ./dist: npm run build.ext

After creating the Add-on archive, you can then use the version in Firefox as follows:

  1. Open Firefox
  2. Go to about:debugging
  3. Go to "This Firefox"
  4. At "Temporary Extensions" click on "Load Temporary Add-on..."
  5. Select the .zip file in the dist directory.
  6. Close the settings tab
  7. Your Firefox now always runs with the development version
  8. For updating: Repeat all steps.

Development

Prerequisites: latest LTS Node.js version

Install dependencies: npm install
Build and watch for changes: npm run dev
Run browser with Add-on: npm run dev.run -- <firefox-executable>
