Details |
[Affected versions]:
- Nightly 66.0a1 Build ID - 20190103220533
[Affected Platforms]:
- All Windows
- All Mac
- All Linux
[Prerequisites]:
- Have a new Firefox profile.
[Steps to reproduce]:
1. Open the browser and navigate to about:newtab.
2. Hover the arrow from the in-content Search bar and observe the behavior.
3. Click the arrow and observe the behavior.
[Expected result]:
- There is no arrow.
OR
- The arrow performs almost the same way as before as if it were a normal button with the exception that the search bar is focused instead of navigating to the search engine's main page.
[Actual result]:
- Step 2: The arrow has no hover effect and the cursor is still a text selector caret.
- Step 3: The focus is moved to the search bar and the text caret appears.
[Notes]:
- If we choose to make the arrow a button, this might help ameliorate the behavior from bug 1517741.
- Attached a screen recording of the issue: https://goo.gl/M1fVQp

I discussed with UX (Aaron and Bryan). They said we can just kill the arrow when search hand-off is enabled.

Also, there are is an idea to make it an @ and activating the awesomebar with the @ (search shortcuts) dropdown open. But that will be in a separate bug.
