The recently released Sidebar Tabs for Firefox version 16.0.3 introduces a feature that allows users to display their tabs vertically in a sidebar format. This add-on enhances tab management by enabling users to group and expand tabs for easier navigation. To utilize Sidebar Tabs, users must enable certain experimental features in Firefox by modifying settings in the about:config menu, specifically by setting "svg.context-properties.content.enabled" to true.
Users can select multiple tabs by holding the "Shift" or "Ctrl" key (or "Cmd" on Mac) and clicking on the desired tabs. Once selected, tabs can be grouped by dragging one tab onto another or by using the "Tab Group" option in the context menu. Each tab group is color-coded for easy identification, and users can collapse or expand these groups by clicking on the colored section or through the context menu. Newly opened tabs from within a group will automatically be categorized under that group, and users can ungroup tabs at any time via the context menu. However, it’s important to note that tab groups will not persist during private browsing sessions.
Sidebar Tabs offers an alternative way to organize and view tabs, contributing to a more streamlined browsing experience alongside additional functionalities. This tool could be especially beneficial for users who manage numerous tabs simultaneously and prefer a more organized visual layout.
In addition to these features, users may find it helpful to explore similar topics, such as recovering accidentally closed browser tabs, muting tabs in various browsers, and restoring warning prompts for closing all tabs in browsers like Microsoft Edge. Overall, Sidebar Tabs is a valuable addition for Firefox users seeking a different approach to tab management
