@acornestean Thanks for filing. Could you share an example youtube URL that triggers this bug?

I refined the STR a bit and attached a screen recording of the issue for more clarity.

STR:

  1. Install Side View version 0.6.5727
  2. As the sidebar no longer opens automatically on extension installation, manually open the sidebar via CTRL+B. This will open the sidebar on “Bookmarks”
  3. From the dropdown menu at the top of the sidebar, select “Side View”
  4. Notice the “Welcome” screen is displayed in the sidebar, which has a “Watch a tutorial” link
  5. Click the “Watch a tutorial” link
  6. Observe that two new tabs will be opened with the tutorial on YouTube
