The urlbar binding is markup only, so that could be inlined in browser.xul. This would require figuring out a way to get rid of the textbox binding dependency.

Note that the binding has some useless inherits: - inherits="pageproxystate" on urlbar-go-button - very likely one of the inherits on urlbar-input - parentfocused on urlbar-history-dropmarker seems unused ? Either way, most of the inherits usage just ease up the styling and can usually be reproduced with descendant selectors in the CSS.
No longer blocks: quantumbar-input

Dao, could you answer bug 1534331 comment #3?

We shouldn't use a custom element here, so the question doesn't really apply.

dependency.

so the idea is to pour urlbar content right into <textbox> children?

The idea is to not use a textbox at all.

Are any of these properties are needed for urlbar implementation? https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/content/widgets/textbox.xml#50

So the idea is to replace textbox on ordinal container like hbox and then style it properly? How would it live together with no quantumbar implementation?

Maybe, but I think it'll probably be caught by tests if something breaks.

Since the markup is the same for both quantumbar and non-quantumbar, I guess the markup for both urlbar bindings can be inlined, with the legacy-urlbar binding kept to attach different behaviours to the element.

I think this bug would be easier to fix with bug 1515589 fixed first.

I won't have time to finish this, but here's a possible plan if you'd like to work on this:

  • Fix bug 1515589
  • Remove or port the inherits="" attributes
  • Fix the "X is undefined" errors
  • Potentially more stuff

Hi Dão,

Do you have some cycles to take this over the finish line? The current patch mostly works for both the old and new URL bar, but has some bugs there and there.

Some notable issues are: the go button doesn’t appear, live switching implementations doesn’t work super well.

I think it might be faster if you or someone from your team finishes this, given that you’re more familiar with this code.

Thanks.

We shouldn't spend time on this until after quantumbar is released and the old urlbar is removed.

Do you mean that you/your team doesn't have cycles to finish this before quantumbar released or this work may interfere with some other planned work and thus it's better to delay it until it done? It'd be just cool to have it resolved asap for deXBLization project.

Flags: needinfo?(dao+bmo)

It may interfere and imply noise we don't need right now, but that aside what I'm saying is it makes much more sense to do this when we don't have to worry about the old urlbar anymore, which will be soon enough. The old urlbar is all XBL so that's a blocker for deXBL anyway.

for the record, this bug can help fix bug 1534661, which doesn't work because aria-owns inside urlbar binding refers outside the binding, because it's not allowed. This bug suggests to pour the urlbar content into a document, what will fixe aria-owns issue.

ntim, this will become a priority next week once bug 1551232 has landed. Do you intend to finish this (I see you already updated the patch a few days ago) or should somebody else take this over?

I don't plan on finishing this anytime soon. Feel free to take this over.
