Have to run Sidebery every time I open Firefox for the sidebar. #78

I'm loving this configuration except that everytime I open Firefox I have to click on the Sidebery extension to launch it or the sidebar doesn't work.

Can this be done automatically?

Naezr commented 4 months ago

It's a bug in Firefox itself. Here's what I found on this problem: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1342740

@Naezr That worked once for me but then the second Firefox window I opened again prompts me to open Sidebery.

Naezr commented 4 months ago

Are you opening a private window or a regular window? Remember that private windows cannot open the sidebar automatically. If it happens with regular windows, I can hardly help you. Try clearing your profile folder (make a backup beforehand).

jasper-clarke commented 4 months ago

Just opening a regular window. I'll create a new profile and try again.

Also please note that Userchrome Toggle works pretty badly with multiple windows. You will understand when you try to toggle panels first in one window and then in another.

In good faith I should rewrite it from scratch, because I'm having a hard time understanding the past developer's code. For now, it's staying as it is.

Let's get back to the sidebar. If the behavior remains the same with a clean profile, then I can't help. This issue has nothing to do with the theme. Look for a solution on the internet yourself

@jasper-at-windswept did it resolve? I am facing this in librewolf but not in firefox.

I noticed an interesting new sidabar behavior from Firefox Nightly: If you turn on a new sidebar, it will keep its state and open the same in new windows and between sessions. However, the old version does not keep its status. The old sidebar will not open automatically in new windows

@KAGEYAM4 It did not fix the problem.

KAGEYAM4 commented 3 months ago

@jasper-at-windswept for me this fixes the problem -> Turn off the History option as shown in the screenshot. The other way is to wait for the but to be patched by firefox.

@KAGEYAM4 I already had/have history saved across windows.

KAGEYAM4 commented 3 months ago
