I'm liking the sidebar/vertical tabs update, but something that bothers me is that it's fixed on the left side of the screen.

  1. I'm using 2 monitors and when Firefox is on the right monitor, I often overshoot when pointing the mouse to the tab which I want to go to or close. I think it would make a lot more sense for the sidebar to be able to lock to the right side of the screen as an option.
  2. When the sidebar is collapses, the close button for the tab is on the top left of it's icon which makes no sense as a windows user. The close buttons for all windows are on the top right always. When docked on screen right, the close button would be easier to reach. Overall, the design would be more "synergistical".

@drpostmortem for your first point: if you click "Customize sidebar" in the sidebar, there should be an option to "Move sidebar to the right" - let us know if you're not seeing that.

@JonThanks, I hadn't fully explored the options. I can see it and move the sidebar to the right. I think you can close this request.

Only thing would be the placement of the close buttons, which are still at the top left of the icon when the sidebar is collapsed, even when the sidebar is on the right. But I guess, that's not a big enough problem for me to raise it as a separate issue.

Thanks again!

@drpostmortem thanks! I'll close this out (it will still be visible) and pass the feedback along to the team building the feature.

(Note: similar ideas have been merged into this thread)

@User1231 this should already be available to you - if you click "Customize sidebar" in the sidebar, there should be an option to "Move sidebar to the right"

If you're not seeing that or it's not working for you, let us know.

Hope this helps!
