Unmentioned is first class vertical tabs. It's still experimental, so you have to enable it via about:config. Set sidebar.verticalTabs to true.

"Firefox now has a new anti-tracking feature, Bounce Tracking Protection": Nice! This is why I use Firefox.
However the integration of tabs in the sidebar takes much longer than I thought would be. Well I guess its ready when its ready. Does anybody use this feature “Picture-in-Picture: auto-open on tab switch”? I had it enabled for testing, but it was totally annoying.
Picture-in-Picture: auto-open on tab switch is totally annoying.
I also tested it once, and turned it back off immediately.
Some suggestion to make it more useful:
Its also missing some optional settings, such as if it should apply to say embedded videos from third party sites (like YouTube player in a blog post). And an option to enable that functionality for certain websites only. And if the tab should be opened up automatically only when a video is currently playing or always.
Embedded videos are particularly annoying.
Nope. I wouldn't nitpick this situation or that.
That one time I tried it, I realized that when I click away from the tab I don't care if see the video anymore. Listening to the audio is all I want in that moment.
