Do you mean the actual Firefox sidebar? If so, you use a sidebarAction. However, it's a Firefox and Opera only feature. I'm not sure if I'd want to use a sidebar (I generally don't use any other sidebars). I've opened the sidebar more times by mistake than on purpose.

I was going to ask for an option to be able to have/not have the sidebar. Unfortunately, there is no way to make the actual sidebar optional, as you get to define only one of sidebar_action, browser_action, or page_action in the manifest.json file. There is no runtime way to switch between them.

If you mean add an in-page sidebar (works across all browsers), then you can add an iframe to the current document with the content you desire, positioned as you desire (left, right, top, bottom, or wherever and/or user movable). Doing so can also be made optional.
