I found 2 other similar plugins, but they were much more buggy. I've tested in IE8, and am very happy with this. Nice job! Thanks for this.

My mockup is a bit more similar to Aza Raskin's, which seems to be a much more practical approach: http://www.azarask.in/blog/post/firefoxnext-tabs-on-the-side/ I had actually planned on writing about an auto-hide feature, but I didn't feel like going into that much detail. At only fifty pixels wide, I'm not sure if I would need an auto-hide personally... But it should definitely be built-in for user choice, if people want a larger sidebar or whatever. Actually, I envision two related features--an auto-slide where the sidebar widens as you roll over it, and a forced hide mode where the sidebar completely collapses and you have to click an arror or something to show it again. The latter feature would force the screen to redraw, but it would prevent the sidebar from getting in the way if you're doing something mouse-precise in the frame (such as playing a flash game).

I go through several hundred sites a day for either research or entertainment. This mock-up would work so much better. I also switched away from Winamp when AOL ruined it. This takes one of the best add-ons for Firefox (AIO Sidebar) and makes it better. One thing that I would do is have the sidebar auto-hide without redrawing the page when it pops back up. If you are not using a wide screen monitor, sidebars take up too much room.
