Open Sidebar when Firefox Loads

[//esteban//]

I need to get the sidebar open automatically when firefox starts

I use:
" getElementById("sidebar-box").hidden " attribute to get the state of
the sidebar.

So if its hidden I need to display it. How do I open the sidebar from
javascript?

Code snippet that Im using for working with sidebars:

Use the toggleSidebar() function.

You shouldn't. The Kodak image uploader extension - based on PhotoFox I
think opens it's sidebar on startup and this is the most frequent
complaint by users on various forums. And the most common request is how
to turn this &%@#$* feature off.

Aside from this if two or more extensions try to open their sidebars on
startup, the poor user will see a flurry of sidebars opening and closing
with which ever extension going last "winning".
