1097629 - [UX] Redesign of notification bars

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[(Currently slow to respond) Philipp Sackl [:phlsa] (Firefox UX) please use needinfo]

Over the past months, we had quite a few features that use notification bars as their main UI mechanism. We ran into a couple of limitations of the current implementation and there are some general improvements that have gone un-implemented for a while now.

This bug includes:
- Figuring out various use cases for notification bars
- Defining the relationship between notification bars and doorhangers
- Dealing with the current issues that notification bars have (visibility, spoofability)
- Pointers for a visual refresh (actual visual design can happen in a follow-up bug)

bug 1067446 seems relevant here. What do we intend the semantic difference between a notification bar and doorhanger to be?

Yes, that's one of the questions we need to answer as part of solving this bug.
