Separate sidebar from vertical tab strip

myakura — Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:19:06 GMT

Hi. I've just see the relnotes that vertical tabs and AI sidebar are generally available, and turned on the feature. Pretty cool so far.

Here's one thing I want; place sidebar on one side, and tab strip on the other side. Right now tab strip and sidebar are both tied to one side and I cannot separate those.

@myakura thanks for the feedback! This is a fairly popular request here:

Does that align with your request? If so, we can merge the two threads (and votes) together to keep the conversation focused in one space. Just let me know 😃

Is it possible to have the vertical tabs location independent of windows? Another words one instance of Firefox with the vertical tabs on the left and a second instance of Firefox with the vertical tabs on right.

I also have a wish for the sidebar. Couldn't you separate the sidebar from the bookmark and place both individually to the left or right? It irritates me to have both on one page and that's why I always hide my bookmarks.

I hope my English is not too bad and I have understood this discussion correctly.
