sidebar with social media like on opera

[squar3yeti]

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

This would be fantastic. I just moved from Opera GX and wanted to have Firefox as a daily driver. But the lack of workspaces/groups and a sidebar like GX is definitely a quality feature to have. It would be of great pleasure if the devs take a notice of this and start implementing this feature.

Side bar feature, similar to the Opera Browser

Would love for FF to have a collapsiable side bar feature similar to the Opera browser, with access to Whatapp, Instagram, TikTok, X, etc and AI, which enables you to access these apps without needing to open extra tabs or individual apps. Currently using both browsers as those features are a game changer, hope you will impliment them on FF so I can go back to using just using one browser.

@Tee_Mostley (and others)... if you didn't already know, we're currently working on a new sidebar experience with vertical tabs, AI integrations, and more. Check out this thread to learn more, including how to test out the features now: Firefox Sidebar and Vertical tabs: try them out in Nightly Firefox Labs 131

A sidebar like opera would be useful. Things included should be like a music player, whatsapp, instagram, twitter, chat gpt and a few other configurable websites. The sidebar should disappear when not hovering over it.

Do you have any update on this idea?

As many users already mentioned, I am a Firefox big fan but, honestly the social media sidebar in MIcrosoft Edge keeps me there because is very helpful and convenient. Why you don't listen to your audience?

[taro-ball]

Yes! Opera and Edge have this, only reason im not switching. Please messenger in sidebar WhatsApp, telegram - must have!

Mozilla, what are you doing??? how come you have chatGPT sidebar but not whatsapp/telegram???

[vichomendoza]

Nothing??? Really sad. How long waiting for this! Then Mozilla complains that they are losing fans and you can see that in the worldwide statistics of Internet navigator users. I tried to give Firefox another opportunity this week but, sorry I won't try Firefox never again. Will keep in Edge until another good Internet navigator appears in the market. Good bye.
