I was trying to use Side View to show tow google documents. Even it was not possible to have the window splitted in half (only 2/3 to 1/3 screen splitting ration was possible), the document on the side view showed the selection (no thanks, use application) to click on. Issue: it was not possible to click on of the controls using firefox on windows 10. Check attachment a well.

I think that only the page opened in the regular panel at the right will work properly and you can click all elements. The page that opens in the left sidebar can only be viewed and you probably can't make modifications or fill forms. I haven't used the extension, so I don't know what works and what doesn't work. A website like Google doc that uses a lot of JavaScript is probably an example of a website that won't work. The Addo-ons page of the extension mentions Open a mobile view of a page in the sidebar
