Preserve tabs button when hiding tab bar #18

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. :-)

Hello from Dunedin! ; )

Thanks for the suggestion. I agree that this feature should remain accessible when you're using Sidetabs.

Unfortunately it wouldn't be possible to integrate the Firefox View button into Sidetabs, as extensions don't have permission to open tabs that use the about: url, as Firefox View does.

It would be possible to reposition the button from the tab bar when hiding horizontal tabs however. At some point I plan to make improvements to the tab hiding styles (to integrate window controls into the navigation bar for example), and I'll try to preserve the Firefox View button at that stage.

That'd be great, thanks!!!
