Side Panel for Web Browsing

Hello! I'm a new user to Firefox switching from Google Chrome.

I'm looking for some type of extension or something that will allow me to view websites in a side panel.

Page to Popup extension is okay, but I'd like to be able to have multiple websites I can just click on to see the brief view in the web panel.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Pokemonsaywut, Firefox has a sidebar that add-ons can use. Normally it's on the left, but if you prefer, you can switch it to the right. However, I'm not sure whether that is what you mean by side panel. Can you give an example of how you did this in Google Chrome or what extension you were using?

Like Vivaldi's Browser Web Panel, and the sidebar that Firefox uses looks to be just of bookmarks/history and things of that nature. I am looking more into having a sidebar that I can click on to view a website.

Yes, Firefox's built-in features use the sidebar for a few different things. Add-ons can take over the sidebar for other purposes, some of them quite amazing.

So you're telling me I should go look at Vivaldi's Browser Web Panel to see what you were using in Chrome?

I wasn't using the Web Panel Sidebar in chrome, I was just wondering if Firefox had this functionality. I'm looking for some type of Add-on that can change the Panel Sidebar making it into a Web viewer.

Attached below is an image of what it looks like in Vivaldi, this is what I am curious if Firefox had some sort of "app for that."

Precisely what I am looking for! Thank you very much McCoy!

My pleasure   -   have a nice weekend !

I have a similar issue. I am looking for a sidebar where I can place my addon. The sidebar that are available is for websites or bookmarks. Is there a side bar where I can open on the left or right for just addon's. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Firefox only has one sidebar. It can be used for built-in features or by add-ons.
