after entering interface customization mode.
Rright click on the button -> Customize and then Exit Customize

Fx 36b2, uBlock 0.8.5.7

I can confirm this behavior with FF38.

Possible fix in 9fe8f41.
Also, now the the browser's default positioning is used (the red icon you see on the screenshot above).

[gwarser]

Looks good. Thank you.

Occasionally, I still see the red badge in v 0.8.9.1.

[Deathamns]

@ekerazha It changes to red permanently, or just for a moment after you did some customization?
If it's permanent, and you're using the default theme, then I don't know.
When it just flashes to red for a moment after customization, then that is normal.

[ekerazha]

@Deathamns Permanently and without touching the customization UI.
I'm not sure but it could happen when you recover a browsing session after a browser crash.

P.S.
I tried to deliberately crash Firefox but I couldn't reproduce the issue... I'll look at it when it will happen again.

I've seen this too. It's permanent. But I've been trying to figure what triggers this, no success so far.

Last time my video driver crashed it became red permanently.
Not sure if it can help it any way, but it might give some leads?

[ekerazha]

@gorhill I just found a way to trigger it:
1) Resize the browser window until the icon gets hidden.
2) Restore the window size.

[gorhill]

@ekerazha Nice one!

Now will be to figure how to fix this. Or it could be argued it is a Firefox bug, not sure.

25d5166. They may be other cases too when the icon is removed/hidden from its area.

Seems OK now in 0.9.0.1 for the resize/restore (I think you can see a really fast color change while restoring the windows size)
Too bad, red was kinda cool :)
