I switched from Zen back to Firefox because of bugs and forced features like window sync which many users including myself don't want. I really miss having the entire UI on the side, I really don't care about Zen's other features.

See the SideBery extension. The Firefox Ultima theme helps as well.

Though you still won't get the URL bar on the side, and keeping custom themes up to date is a bit of a hassle.

It's why I made the jump to Zen, you can turn off the tab synchronisation.

I must add that I find it just a little ironic, that you'd switch back to Firefox because of features Zen added, to then ask Firefox to add new features.
(This is meant as an observation, not any sort of personal attack.)

It's valid though, i had to move away from zen because they forced a particular workflow without a way to opt out from it, but I liked most of their UI stuff.

Which aspect of the workflow? I want it to play nice with Temporary Containers but it doesn't want to...
