Recently I discovered this chrome extension called manganum that adds a sidebar with a bunch of useful features like chatgpt, google calendar and todoist. Sadly there is no firefox version. Is there something similar but for firefox?

I don't have an answer, but I am interested. That said, apparently Firefox can now import and use Chrome extensions with the new update. I have yet to try it myself and assume your mileage will vary.

The import requires the extension to also be available on Firefox

Have you tried running the extension on Firefox?

This is just importing a list of extensions from chrome and matching them to a Firefox extension. If the extension doesn't have a Firefox version it won't fo anything.
