After installing the Firefox extension and restarting Firefox the option to split the browser window becomes available in the right-click context menu. The options are to split the browser window horizontally or vertically. The original window will keep using the main Firefox address bar, the bookmarks and status bar while the new windows that share the screen will only use their designated area and a custom address bar.

Another option to create new windows is to right-click links or drag and drop bookmarks or links into newly created windows. Browser controls on the other hand are only working in the main window even when right-clicking the new window and selecting a function like back from the context menu.

This means the method does have some limitations. It is possible to open new websites but it is not possible to go back or forward. It does provide a good way of displaying two websites in one Firefox windows at the same time which might be helpful i various situations like writing articles and using a second website as reference, viewing videos or comparing offers.
