piroor / ezsidebar Goto Github PK

I'm on Firefox 24, but this problem happens pretty much with the last few versions. It just randomly jump to bottom-right of screen sometime.

Turning on/off the sidebar will fix the problem.

But this need fixing.

This experimental code woks on Firefox 11:

var sidebar = document.getElementById('sidebar-box');
var panel = document.createElement('panel');
panel.setAttribute('id', 'sidebar-panel');
sidebar.setAttribute('flex', 1); // required to expand panel contents
panel.setAttribute('width', 300);
panel.setAttribute('height', 600);
panel.setAttribute('noautohide', true); // required to keep the panel shown
document.documentElement.appendChild(panel);
panel.appendChild(sidebar); // this automatically removes the box from the document tree and inserts under the 
panel.openPopupAtScreen(0, 0, false);

Issues:

• How to move the panel?
• How to resize the panel?
• How to synchronize open/close state of the sidebar box and shown/hidden state of the panel?
• How should it work for multiple Firefox windows?
