User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:84.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/84.0

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Take an empty profile.
  2. Have browser.toolbars.bookmarks.visibility set to its recent new default of “newtab”.
  3. Go to a new tab.
  4. Delete the “Get Involved” bookmark that’s in the Bookmarks Toolbar, so that the Bookmarks Toolbar folder is empty.

Actual results:

The bookmarks toolbar remains, but starts taking up less vertical space.

Expected results:

The bookmarks toolbar should either retain its original height, or disappear.

I’m inclined to think that disappearing is better, at least in the case of newtab. If it’s always, I dunno. (As I’ve alluded to in bug 1674090, I feel that newtab makes this toolbar less a toolbar and more a part of about:newtab.)

The bug title contains "Bookmarks toolbar height shrinks when empty" and this is still true (at least on macOS, I can't test on other platforms). Is this expected?

We tried to limit this on Windows but should take a second look on macOS. Can you file a new bug as this one is now closed?

We already have a mac bug for this, as it was caught by our test infrastructure - bug 1678666.
