This is a modified version of my Mile Wide Back extension that uses the Firefox Sidebar to navigate the current webpage.

The advantage is that with the Sidebar always visible, users can navigate their browser tabs even when the active webpage is still loading.

Otherwise all the features and behaviors are the same as my Mile Wide Back extension.

For additional customization, you can modify Firefox's userChrome.css file to make the sidebar narrower by adding this CSS code to your userChrome.css file. You will also need to enable "toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets" in the about:config setting too: #sidebar {min-width: 0 !important}

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Mile Wide Back Sidebar does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Mile Wide Back Sidebar has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
