Making pinned tabs vertical

Can I make pinned tabs vertical on left side (only pinned tabs) like Ubuntu Touch menu?

I don’t know how Tree Style Tabs handles pinned tabs, or whether it can be customized to do precisely what you want, but it’s something to look into at least:

This doesn’t seem to work how I want, but I will try to see if it can be used for non-pinned tabs for organization.

Meh. Pinned tabs should be limited and flat. If you need to organise them into a tree you are probably using the wrong tool for the wrong job. Consider a directory of bookmarks you can open at once in a window (see Open All Bookmarks context menu).

This seems like an interesting idea. I suppose you want something like Vivaldi Browser sidebar web panels, right? Sadly, I do not think I have ever seen any popular addon adding this feature. I will have to look around whether I can find someone working on the idea further.

I suppose only part of Vivaldi web panels, I am ok with pinned tabs opening in full view when clicked, just want them on left sidebar. What I’m trying to solve: I’ve plenty of tabs pinned (email, nextcloud, mastodon, element, pixelfed, home assistant, lemmy etc.) that leaves very small space for normal browsing - more than 3 tabs makes it harder to keep track, so I’m trying to see if pinned tabs can go somewhere else

Oh, that is right. I did not realize what Vivaldi does is that it opens the panel inside the sidebar only. It has been a while since I have seen Vivaldi. I have around 15 tabs pinned at all time as well. I think I would appreciate the described feature, too.

This seems to do what you want, but it looks a bit hackish and hasn’t been updated in a while: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/pinstripe-pinned-tab-sidebar/
