Firefox hide native vertical tab bar if Sidebery is enabled
/*

This is a userChrome.css for Firefox
that hides the vertical tab sidebar (used by Sidebery),
but only if Sidebery is enabled and the window title contains the "sidebery" preface.
Instructions:
1. Enable userChrome.css support and vertical tabs in Firefox:
1.1 Go to about:config
1.2 Set `toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets` to `true`
1.3 Set `sidebar.verticalTabs` to `true` (this enables vertical tabs support)
2. Enable Sidebery window title preface:
2.1 Open Sidebery settings
2.2 Navigate to *Help*
2.3 Set the *Preface value* to `sidebery`
and enable *Add preface to the browser window's title*
3. Create or update userChrome.css:
3.1 Open Firefox menu → Help → More Troubleshooting Information
3.2 Scroll to *Profile Folder* and open it
3.3 Inside the profile folder, create a `chrome` directory (if it doesn't exist)
3.4 Inside `chrome`, create or edit `userChrome.css`
3.5 Paste the following CSS
4. Restart Firefox
Note: This assumes vertical tabs are enabled in Firefox.
