Use <iframe mozbrowser> to embed the web content to re‑add the Side View UI to the sidebar #327

Wrapping the web content in an <iframe> was added in #12, but removed in #149 due to CSP issues.

<iframe mozbrowser> helps solve that, but depends on bug 1318532.

This would allow implementing #91

Yes, we have been hoping to use iframe mozbrowser for the entire lifetime of the project; has there been any progress towards reaching agreement on how to move forward with landing it in firefox?

It got [design-decision-approved], so now all that’s necessary is to expose it to WebExtensions, but it seems like @nt1m has abandoned work on it, and @kmaglione has yet to respond (he’s been needinfo’d for over a year now 🤔).

Which is why I opened this, so that the Side View team could ask to prioritise <iframe mozbrowser> work, possibly in‑person.

Ok, thanks. We'll bring it up again.
