This thing used to work for Mozilla (I expect Firebird as well): 
http://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/misc.html#add_sidebar

There seems to have appeared a bug of some sort which prevents it from 
really working properly (you can find a link to the bug on the page 
linked above).

A little introduction for the brave ones: drag the *link* "add sidebar" 
(yes, click and drag on the green text) to your bookmarks, visit the 
page you want to "sidebar-ize" and click that link from your bookmarks. 
Presto!
