Absolutely! And that is the granularity of Sidebar customization that we need
to provide users. We closed this issue as described in its summary because
fixed widths (min/max) are not a route to customization and a full
implementation of the Sidebar. See bug 33223 and the various issues in the meta
bug 65138.

bug 67770 is about customizations being remembered, widths are just one facet
of customizations. As you'd like the widths static--great that is your
customization. Others will prefer to have their mix of button widgets and
positions and widths remembered.  Some of that comes with the new Sidebar API
so folks can roll their own content panels.

bug 69534 was resolved by Caolán's work to "cook up a scheme to allow windows
to have per-module settings" it gave us ability to record state of the Sidebar
per module--on or off in that limited case, but the basis for supporting
further customization.

Now, that said--I'd move to close this issue again WONTFIX.
