What is WhatsApp in Sidebar?

"WhatsApp in Sidebar" is a Firefox add-on allowing users to integrate WhatsApp web directly into the browser's sidebar for convenient access. It features a customizable keyboard shortcut (default Alt+Shift+W) for toggling the sidebar, the option to adjust the shortcut via add-on settings, and a toolbar button for those preferring a mouse click to a keyboard command.

Introduction
This Firefox Extension displays the WhatsApp within the Firefox sidebar. It adds a new section to the sidebar which contains the WhatsApp web app. It also provides a shortcut, and toggle button.

How to Use
Toggle the sidebar by pressing Alt+Shift+W. This shortcut can be changed by going to Add-ons -> WhatsApp in Sidebar -> Options. 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 restricted 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 the sidebar width on my Blog.
