Steps to reproduce:

Hello,

I am using firefox in android.Please add sidebar swipe from left (containing bookmarks,history,links etc).It is very difficult to tap again to top right to access these bookmarks,history.

If there will be sidebar it will be easy to use it.Many browser on play store has this feature

The panel containing top sites, bookmarks, history are swipeable from left to right and right to left. Are you referring that it should switch from the History tab to Top Sites tab when swiping to the right?

This would be a radical change in the UI. This would need approval from Barbara Bermes and Anthony Lam.
