Add a sidebar view to Firefox Add-On
The sidebar in Firefox would be a handy place to have the saved passwords at hand for the currently open web page.
The big advantage is, that the sidbar stays open when I click something in a web page, e.g: during login when auto fill fails and one has to resort to copy/pasting from the password manager (copying user name first, then copying password, without the need to open the Proton Pass window again after it closes because of clicking into the user name box on the web site)
I used bitwarden before Proton Pass, and this is the only feature I miss.
Allowing the Add-On to be available as a sidebar seems fairly trivial: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/user_interface/Sidebars

Sidebar functionality would solve 2 problems with the extension:
- It's tall enough to view lists and settings boxes without excessive scrolling (i.e. the toolbar popup is too compact)
- As mentioned, it stays open when needed to manage wonky login interactions

Agreed! I'm using Bitwarden and Pass, but Bitwarden is much easier to use because of the sidebar. Generally Proton has better UI, so I'm actually surprised they don't use the sidebar already.

This would be really nice - the Bitwarden sidebar app is really helpful for the reasons Linus mentioned.
Would love to see equivalent functionality in Proton Pass.
