Could you please also add a button to sort the tabs by domain? I don't want hierarchical grouping like some competing extensions offer (to me such UX feels like additional complexity), only sorting.
Already added to my notes. I'll likely implement it. Make it pin+normal tab aware even, like only sort normal, pins, or both.

Yeah. I don't understand why modern browsers don't allow disabling tabs. I already have a window manager that's quite good at managing windows. I don't need another level for that with its own rules.
Having a separate window per tab will consume more resources, than showing only a single tab content at a time.
For Firefox, I've found an extension that moves tabs to a new window. It mostly works, but there are rough edges. I apparently have enough resources for all my browser windows in my shaggy laptop for it to never swap. The overhead doesn't seem huge enough to warrant the removal of the possibility of disabling tabs.
Is there anything that OP can say to sell this to someone heavily invested in Sideberry (an excellent piece of software imo)?
Grasshoppers are cool. And a platform has been created to add more features if they make sense. It already can do a bunch of stuff, I advice you to give it a try.
If any Firefox devs or PMs are reading, PLEASE build even a simple tab grouper into the browser natively. Regardless how recommended a given extension is, all tab manager extensions require access to all web content which is too much. I’d rather use something built in but barebones rather than an addon
Can it be configured to mimic native look&feel or at least use a light theme?
Yes the theme is very customizable, check the Settings. There's also commands you can use if you double tap Ctrl twice. You can open the command palette and select Light Theme.

Are you talking about the thing Chrome does with it's tabs where you can put them together in sections and give them a colour and name?
Most importantly, it lets you collapse/expand groups with just a click. Makes for a fluid built-in no-frills "putting project A tabs aside to work on project B while keeping tabs ordering and grouping, without the extra friction of bookmarks or profiles" workflow.

I know I am going to sound stupid, but I failed to find where the settings for this extension are. Neither the toolbar icon, nor the sidebar, nor the Firefox's extensions management page seem exposing any.

Main menu is the top left button inside the extension. In that menu you can enter Settings. Then in settings you can click the category to see a list of other categories, or use the arrows.
I settled down on SideBerry after having used Tree Tab Style for ages: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sidebery/ It adds contexts/categories. So you can have trees of tabs per topic.
I am a huge fan of Sidebery, but it really highlights how messed up Mozilla is. Not only have they failed to provide a native vertical tab solution, but then you go to turn off the damn horizontal ones and you have to jump through convoluted hoops by enabling the userChrome.css and then figuring out where the hell to put the file and all of this for one edit. Yeah sure, I have figured it out (and have to re figure ev…
By the way, does anyone happen to know how to overcome the sidebar width limit in the current Firefox versions? I want the tab titles to be less truncated but Firefox won't let me expand the sidebar more than 432 px in width. An alternative (maybe even better) idea which came into my mind is make item title display multi-line (word-wrap). Is there a Grasshopper configuration option for this? I already enabled URL dis…
That sounds suspiciously like a number placed in a style sheet. Have you checked in the directory for your Firefox profile?
