I hate the way my browser and tabs are this ever-growing fluster cluck of disorganized piles of sites. I've tried various solutions across various browsers. Now that I'm using #LibreWolf I tried to get serious in this one.

I installed #Sidebery and I really want to use it and like it. Thus far I find it a complete headscratcher. I can configure panels but if I change the name then every panel in every window gets that name? Is the idea that I have few windows with more panels and I switch amongst them?

I like the snapshots in principle. I like the idea of exporting in MD format and syncing it to my #Obsidian repo so I have an insight into my browsing and history that way. It shows each window and their title. Windows have titles? How do I change that?

I'd love to read the documentation on this add-on but apparently there isn't any. Just random Reddit threads with people shouting "Just use Sidebery, dumbass" to each other.

This feels like a tool almost what I want and that the delta between what I understand now and would need to know to use it properly is small but I don't know how to bridge it. These are the kinds of things that make me tired when I use modern technology.

quite tickled today to have finally stumbled over the #TreeStyleTab "settings within the settings" view, in which at last i've been able to greatly narrow the Pinned Tabs' width, to fit many more into a single row.

#sidebery's had this option plainly available in its settings for yonks, & i always felt it weird for #TST to lack that similar granularity. no more need i ponder, the fault was mine, for not burrowing deep enough.

Every 4 to 5 weeks, a new major version of Firefox is released and as a result, the Nightly version increases as well.

This is a good time to thank you for helping us make Firefox better and to give you some pointers to documentation, communication channels and news sites related to Nightly that may be of interest to you.

Trying out #Sidebery.

It integrates with history and bookmarks very well, looks nice and does its job.

Links:

• Sidebery add-on and its repository
• userChrome.css hack to hide tab bar -- "native" tab bar cannot be hidden by an extension, so we need this hack.
• Mozilla KB on userChrome.css just in case anybody needs more info.

Note: remember about enabling "legacy" userChrome and userContent stylesheets in about:config.

Thanks for recommending it to me @muppeth, I love it!

Late last year, after having used it as my daily default browser for a few [maybe several?] months, the incessant bugs, unrelenting workflow-buggering major changes, & frequent loss of all tabs, caused me to abandon  [only in early Beta back then, so not totes surprising] & return to ticktacking back & forth twixt  and . Into 2025 those latter two continued competing for my daily affections.

T'other day i learned that the long awaited native #TabFolders in  have now landed in #ZenTwilight [the nightly / Alpha version], & thus might be expected to make it finally into the Beta version within a week or two. This morn, possibly against my better judgement but tbc, that discovery inspired me to jump back into my  Beta & relearn it + learn all the stuff new since i last dabbled, in anticipation of this incipient major design UI & UX change.

All the #KleverKids are saying that Zen's TabFolders are a game-changer, coz they will provide users with the first ever native-in-a-Fox browser tab hierarchical nesting. None of ,  , nor  has it [all only flat, not tree, structures; ditto flat-only in Chromium, Vivaldi, Edge et al]. Hitherto the only way to gain this important function has been via AddOns like #TreeStyleTab or #Sidebery. These are both fabulous, but do not have access to all the native foxy code bits n pieces [i've damn well forgotten the proper term atm, sigh], so by using either of these AOs we lose some of the important fox functionality, eg, tab context menu items. If the Zen Dev/s do their work really well, we will finally have our tabby cake & eat it.
