squonk, Mozilla's own developers probably won't develop something like this, but
a third-party (or even you) could develop something like this. Have a look
through the Sidebar directory, in case someone's already made something that
satisfies your needs.

Meanwhile, confirming as an RFE.

I like this idea, also (I only use IE 5 Mac once in a while--or even IE, for
that matter!) and was going to submit this as a bug, also, but searched first
and found this. :) I've been off and on trying to learn XUL; maybe I could try
making one for myself ... or try searching at Mozdev or somewhere to see if
someone's already working on one. (I don't know if this will require XUL or
not.) It would be nice to be included in Mozilla itself and sounds like it
wouldn't be too hard to  make a sidebar tab for ... but I don't think it'll
happen soon. If nothing else, I could just add Google to my sidebar (which I
*could* do), since that's frequently what I wish I had this feature for. (And
the Search tab doesn't quite cut it...)

Recently nightly builds of Mozilla Firebird has the Page Holder thing.

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but still has no comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project 5 years ago.

Because of this, we're resolving the bug as EXPIRED.

If you still can reproduce the bug on SeaMonkey 2 or otherwise think it's still valid, please REOPEN it and if it is a platform or toolkit issue, move it to the according component.

We support webpages as sidebar panels by now.
