> I could reproduce in some manner with nova pref'd off and pref'd on

That's very interesting, thanks. It suggests that this might be an old bug unrelated to our Nova work. When it happened while Nova was disabled, do you remember if you started Firefox with Nova disabled? Or did you have Nova enabled at some point while Firefox was running, and then you turned it off, and then it started happening?

> maybe side effect from 1998985?

At a quick glance, I don't think so, but I could be wrong.

This is a very visible bug, so if you're able to spend some time trying to nail down STR, I'd appreciate it! Some ideas for things to try (in combination with each other):

* Toggle off/on `browser.nova.enabled`
* Start Firefox with different values for `browser.nova.enabled`
* Add/remove the search bar to the toolbar
* Open new windows
* Toggle on/off the bookmarks toolbar
