Description
Currently the findbar floats as a separate element. Integrating it directly into the nav bar (replacing or overlaying the URL bar while active) would reinforce the one-line design philosophy with no extra rows, no popover panels.
Desired behavior
Ctrl+F replaces the URL bar area with the find input (similar to how some Chromium themes handle it)- Find results count, navigation arrows, and close button fit within the same toolbar row
Esc or closing the findbar restores the URL bar- Smooth transition between the two states
Open questions
- Is this achievable in pure CSS (e.g. repositioning
#browser-bottombox / .findbar into #nav-bar via position: absolute + -moz-box-ordinal-group)?
- Or does the findbar's DOM position make CSS-only impossible, requiring fx-autoconfig to reparent the element?
- How does this interact with the URL bar focus expansion?
Needs research. This may push the limits of what userChrome.css can do.
