what exactly are the constraints of a sidebar?
I don't really like the idea of popping up a new window as it could have weird effects in some situations (what happens in fullscreen mode, what happens to users with a tiling window manager, will the popup be blockable?, etc.).

@grahamperrin thanks for this, but I don't really understand anymore, what this issue is about.
There is still a sidebar issue open.
I'll close this for now in order to get this out of my sight. Feel free to re-open (comment) if this is still an issue.

Thanks for asking.
If you don't mind, the answers will probably come over a period of weeks in occasional, short bursts …

Note to self whilst recording the screen,
2017-10-29 03:52
I imagine that a bundled web page will allow me to more intuitively use context menus against various aspects of Conex search results.
More obscurely, although this is remembered by me on a daily basis: there's an experimental extension for Google Chrome, which I tested with Chromium, that allows a sidebar to e.g. the left of a window and that sidebar can be used to switch between … groups. I'll add a link later but note, this is truly obscure and/or exotic. When I last tested that extension with Chromium on FreeBSD-CURRENT, its implementation was not perfect (probably could not be perfect within the constraints of available APIs, or something like that).

Food for thought (not direction)
Sidewise Tree Style Tabs - Chrome Web Store 2017.2.12.0
A dockable sidebar for Chrome featuring vertical Tree Style Tabs, Tab Hibernation, and much more.
… BETA! Proceed with caution :) …
– a very pleasantly thought-provoking beta, which I tested a few weeks or months ago in Chromium on FreeBSD-CURRENT. Imagine a future release (beyond beta – production quality) encouraging a user of Tab Groups, with Firefox 52 or 56, to switch to Google Chrome instead of Firefox 57 or 58. Imagination aside: realistically (no offence to developers) I doubt that it'll become production quality within that timeframe.
There's smart use of technologies and GUIs, however I do not imagine anything like Sidewise Tree Style Tabs working (with Chromium, Google Chrome or Firefox) predictably and reliably with some types of window manager. So from a Firefox viewpoint, I should treat it as:
- a distraction
- neither a reason for users of Firefox to switch, nor a reason for @kesselborn to change direction in design.

A key point
Here, in the midst of a sixty-five minute unlisted screen recording (of a ninety-five minute session):
– and from the on-screen notes:
Hurrah!
That was me expecting a Control-Click to present a context menu for a result in the Conex window. And …
… that's probably exactly why a few weeks ago I toyed with the idea of a bundled web page.
