Icon should be on the left side of the address bar #176
Comments
The position of the icon is determined by the pageAction Web Extension API. To move it, we would have to re-write the add-on using Add-on SDK, or perhaps even XUL. Either of which is a very large task. However, it would be very valuable to split-test the position of the icon to see which position better informs users. |
@groovecoder Thanks for clarifying. But wasn't the WebExt API supposed to do (almost) anything you can do with the old APIs? Why not filing a bug for this to be considered at bugzilla.mozilla.org? |
You could try, but I'm pretty sure the answer is: no, web extensions are not designed to do anything & everything add-on SDK or XUL can do; at least, not in the short term. Perhaps long-term, yes. But initially it's intended to provide a single API for add-ons across browsers. In particular, Chrome, Opera, and Firefox support the APIs. |
@jnachtigall this is out of scope for the Test Pilot experiment, since we're not explicitly soliciting for Android. We will definitely work on those colors though. |
On Firefox for Android the Tracking Protection logo (which is also nicer looking and not pink) is on the left side off the address bar. Makes sense, because there are all the other site infos like Push notifications, Flash warner, https lock icon etc:
I'd move it left of the https lock icon. Much more appropriate than having it next to the Reload or Readers Mode.
