Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/217

Currently, Floccus' options window is very shy - as soon as the Browser window loses focus, it disappears.

This makes it really hard to setup an account for which you have to copy and paste different information from somewhere else - like at least URL and password, and possibly also the sync file name in case of xbel file sync.

It would be nice of the options windows could stay open in this case.

as far as I know, it's the browser that closes the pop over and extensions can do little about that. You can also open the options from the addons screen, though.

Ah, great, didn't think about this. Works fine - maybe the extension could somehow hint to this possibility?

I could add a link to the panel that allows the user to open the settings in a new tab.

I think this could be helpful.

maybe adding an option ui in side bar is another help way
