#  Fastmail in Sidebar
A Firefox extension to display Fastmail within the Firefox sidebar. This extension adds a new section to the sidebar which contains the Fastmail website. It also adds a shortcut, and a button toggle within the toolbar.
[](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fastmail-in-sidebar/)
## Usage
1. Toggle the sidebar by pressing _`Alt+Shift+D`_. This shortcut can be changed by going to _`Add-ons` → `Discord in Sidebar` → `Options`_.
2. If you prefer buttons over shortcuts, there is a toolbar button you can press to toggle the sidebar.
## How to Unlock Firefox Sidebar Width
The sidebar's width is _locked by default_ in Firefox. Unfortunately, the sidebar is very restrictive and I can only do so much to enhance the functionality of this extension. I put together a step-by-step guide on how to unlock it.
### Step-by-Step Instructions
1. In a new tab, navigate to `about:support`.
2. Under _Application Basics_, find _Profile Folder_.
3. Locate and click the `Open Folder` button next to it. It will be next to an address similar to: `%appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\{profile-id}.default`.
4. Inside your Firefox _Profile Folder_, create a new folder named: `chrome`.
5. Inside the newly created chrome folder, create a new file named: `userChrome.css`.
6. Copy the following code, paste as content and save:
```css
#sidebar-box {
max-width: 40% !important;
min-width: 300px !important;
}
```
7. Finally, in a new tab, navigate to `about:config` and search for `toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets` and change it to `true`.
8. Restart Firefox and test it out!
### 📝 Notes

## ⚠ Disclaimer
This Add-on is primarily for personal use; a personal project if you will. I'm just trying to use Fastmail on the Firefox sidebar. This add-on just launches their website in the sidebar. This extension is an independent project, has no relationship, and is not affiliated to Fastmail in any way.
