Firefox uses the bookmark system to record links that should be opened in
the sidebar. Suite uses panels.rdf via addPanel(). Firefox maintains
compatibility with websites that use javascript:window.sidebar.addPanel() by
exposing a sidebar.addPanel interface but implementing it via the bookmarks
service. addBookmarks2 is never exposed to content.

So as far as websites are concerned, Firfox supports both the Suite
addPanel() and Opera's rel="sidebar". With xSidebar installed on Seamonkey
we have feature parity with Firefox.

But why are you asking these questions? You must know this code by heart!
You have r/sr authority over this code don't you?
