Interfering with other add-ons that uses sidebar views #405

https://github.com/slobber/wechat-sidebar/issues/3 Wechat-sidebar is a simple add-on that opens the web app of WeChat in the sidebar. WeChat detects user-agent and refuses to serve requests sent from a mobile device. The problem is that Side View intercepts all requests from sidebar, whether it is from the instance opened by Side View or any other add-on that happens to be using sidebar at the same time, injects a mobile device user-agent, and thus breaks Wechat-sidebar.

I happened to be using both the add-ons and stumbled upon this issue. Disabling Side View is a workaround, but I think there should be some isolation mechanism that does the job keeping different instances of sidebar views independent.
