Vertical tabs/the sidebar would benefit from an 'auto-hide' or 'expand on mouseover' feature. Similar to how it behaves in Edge, I would like to be able to expand the sidebar for vertical tabs on mouseover when I want to review my open tabs. This would allow users to avoid manually toggling the expanded view and will improve the experience when tab groups are introduced.

In my opinion, if you were able to put social networks in the sidebar as a work, you could get a lot of audiences, because in any case firefox is already very comfortable and with this implementation it would become truly perfect

Dear [Browser Developer Team], As a dedicated user of your browser, I am writing to express my strong support for the addition of a second sidebar. This feature would greatly improve my overall browsing experience and provide me with more flexibility and convenience. Having the ability to open multiple sources of information simultaneously in a second sidebar would allow me to easily compare data, reference material, and switch between tasks with ease. This would save me time and i...

Adding Duck.ai or DuckDuckGo Chats to the Chatbot Sidebar would allow users to use privacy respecting chatbots and quick model switches. It also does not require a login, so saving cookies for the sidebar would not matter.

This is a generalization of https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/sidebar-ai-chatbot-panel-resets-reloads-when-closed-and-reopened/idi-p/134458 Because of the limitation that only one sidebar can be active, it is sometimes needed to switch between different sidebars. And as more extensions support using them on the sidebar I am increasingly frustrated that closing/switching the active sidebar item immediately kills the previous sidebar's state. For my workflow this means im e...

Perplexity AI into the sidebar. Please, add the Perplexity AI model to the LLM list in the sidebar. Or, as alternative and if possible, consider adding it as a search engine.

Just a matter of convenience... I believe on a large screen it makes more sense to have fresher tabs closer to the top, the most active area of the browser (all the controls are there), as less eye movement between them is required.

A typical use-case for the AI Chat sidebar, at least for me, is to open it, chat, close it, browse a bit more, go back to the sidebar, chat some more. However, as soon the sidebar is minimized the web page is closed and your chat history is lost. On a small (13") screen, the side panel takes up a considerable amount of horizontal space so it is not convenient to keep it open. But more importantly, the current behaviour is not compatible with how all these AI Chat providers work now - y...

Heys, YouTube's Queue doesn't work right. I list a bunch of YouTubes i wanna watch in the side bar. I wish i could play them automatically ,or make a playlist (that works) from the links in the sidebar. Probably not possible but its my wish as of now. Thanks

The addition of vertical tabs is a great new feature. I think the sidebar should be hidden when in fullscreen mode (F11 on Windows). The horizontal tabs are hidden in fullscreen, I think only the tab content should be displayed.
