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
