3.5

The bookmarks toolbar was always an awkward fit for a one-line theme: either it takes a whole row, or you do without your bookmarks. LittleFox solved that a while ago, and this release adopts the idea. Huge thank you to @biglavis for figuring that out!

New

• Dynamic bookmarks bar: the toolbar leaves the layout and hangs below the chrome as an overlay. Out of sight until you reach for the URL bar, then it fades in. Move the pointer down onto it and it stays open until you leave. The page keeps the line either way. Adapted from LittleFox (MIT).

Changed

• It is on by default (--uc-dynamic-bookmarks: 1). Set it to 0 for the permanent row below the toolbar, exactly as before.

Notes

• It needs Firefox' own setting: right-click the toolbar area → Bookmarks Toolbar → Always Show. Under "Never show" nothing changes, and under "Only on New Tab" Firefox' own collapse stays in charge.
• Timing is yours: --uc-dynamic-bookmarks-hover-delay (450ms) until the hover reveals the bar, --uc-dynamic-bookmarks-hide-delay (50ms) grace period before it collapses again.
• Under the hood, Nova clips #navigator-toolbox to its own box (overflow: clip on every .chrome-block), which erased the overlay entirely. FoxOne lifts that clip on the toolbox while the feature is on, and hands it back the moment you set the flag to 0.
• As always, this applies to the supported browser.nova.enabled=true configuration.
