hmm, it's still using cursor: pointer somehow with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1b1pre) Gecko/20080830031750 Minefield/3.1b1pre ID:20080830031750

this must have regressed somewhat as it works in Fx 3.0.1

So how do you expect the user to realize that the icon is interactive?

(In reply to comment #7) > So how do you expect the user to realize that the icon is interactive? Same also applies to the web search field inside the navigation toolbar. It even doesn't use a pointer. At least all the fields should be consistent across the UI. AFAIR these are the ones who trigger an external search, correct?

type="search" textboxes in searchbutton mode look exactly like those in search-on-input mode. (The search glass gets a very subtle hover effect on Windows but not on Linux.) It's not obvious at all that searching in the add-ons manager is remote; theoretically, the list could be fetched beforehand, or we could search on input with a bigger timeout to avoid bad requests. In case of the Search bar it's clear that the search can't happen on input.

well, i just want to have the behavior reverted/fixed as bug 427689 did before landing of bug 388811.

Bug 427689 says "this is not native behavior on any platform", but it's not clear to me what comparable native widget that statement refers to.
