Sidebar With Serach Tab Open
The sidebar in mozilla is the "always-on" content area on the left-side of your browser.  The sidebar contains tabs that can provide you with tid bits of information that you want to be self-refreshing and for which you would ordinarily not want to open an entirely  new browser.  Examples of such tabs include: stock information for your favorite picks, news headlines, links related to the current browser page content, search result lists, a quickly navigable history view, your bookmarks, up-todate sports scores and more.   Here's a marketing perspective on the sidebar feature.

This page shall be the launching pad for sidebar development (not sidebar *tab* development) in mozilla.  Following are links to relevant working documents and proposals.
