When restarting Firefox with multiple windows, remember for each window if VTR was active or not

[jpetazzo]

Hi!

First of all, I really appreciate the work that you did with VTR. I use it to keep all my chat platforms (Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack, etc) in a single Firefox window, and the vertical tabs are a great way to see if there is activity on any of them. So, thanks!

However, I have multiple Firefox windows; and I use VTR only on one of them. When I restart Firefox, VTR is active in all windows, and I disable it (close the vertical tab bar) on all of them, except that one window where I want it.

I was wondering if it would make sense to remember, window per window, if VTR was active or not, and restore it to the same state when Firefox restarts.

I don't know much about Firefox extensions development; I imagine/hope that it's possible to remember per-window state (as seen for instance in this window titler extension.

Feel free to close this issue if this is not possible/out of the scope of the project; but since you invite feature ideas, I thought I'd drop that one!

Thanks either way :)

Thank you for your kind words!

Unfortunately, this is technically impossible to implement from my side. Firefox itself would need to remember open sidebars per window.

By the way, I like the idea of giving windows a custom title, so I might implement something like #286
