I am using Flock 1.0.8 with Windows Vista Home Edition.

I haven't been able to find any info on the web on how to unlock the
Flock Browser sidebar so I could load my favorites in there like you
can in Firefox 2 and Netscape 9.

So I opened about:config and there it was plain as day.

flock.favorites.loadPageInSidebar set to true

Now when you right-click a favorite and click on properties the "Load
this bookmark in the sidebar" is there with a checkbox. It was there
all the time, but turned off.

I loaded these two in the sidebar.

chrome://mozapps/content/downloads/downloads.xul
chrome://mozapps/content/extensions/extensions.xul

In Netscape 9 and Firefox 2 you can easily extend the width of the
sidebar to full screen width. This doesn't help in Flock

#sidebar {max-width:none !important;}

So for now we are still stuck with max-width:400px;

Don't try to load AllInOneSidebar into Flock or Flock will freeze and
you will have to go into the Safe Mode to uninstall it.

I was having trouble with the searchbox crashing Flock. So I right-clicked the toolbar and clicked on customize. Then I dragged the searchbox down into the button storage panel to disable it until a fix is found or a new version comes out. Now everything is peachy. :)

One of the things I load in the sidebar is http://www.google.com/ie
