Is there a way to have the window be moved around while dragging sidebar? (lemmy.ml)

I have been using Zen-Browser as my main, but still use FF daily (both PC and Android). One thing that I have really liked with Zen is that I can move the window around by holding left-click just like the normal toolbar.

Does anyone know if there is a setting or about:config option that can enable this on FF? It has just been such a randomly nice thing to have, but not a big issue if not. Both browsers serve different folks and have their own goals.

I don't think there is a way to do that. It does not seem like something they'd make configurable, if it was implemented.

It does seem like something they might want to implement, though. You can vote on it being implemented here (where someone else already submitted the idea): https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/drag-handle-on-firefox-browser-too-limited-add-ability-to-also/idi-p/104103

Side-note: In case you are on Linux, you may prefer the operating-system-wide shortcut to move any window from anywhere on its surface by holding either the Windows-key or Alt-key (varies between desktop environments) and then left-click-dragging on the window. If you do a right-click-drag instead, it resizes the window.

Most Linux users prefer "super" key instead of "windows" key, although in this nice coincidence it's actually the key to move your windows ^^

Thanks for the link, I just voted for it! I am mostly on Windows for my main PC, but good to know for my Steam Deck and Pi.
