1119963 - awesomebar icon arrangement looks weird

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

Attachment: Example screenshot

I noticed a new location bar icon today in Nightly, representing a geolocation permission. I think that's a great change from the perpetual permission doorhangers.

However, I now have three icons in my location bar: geolocation permission, tracking protection, and--separated by the caret--the identify/ssl mark.

This arrangement looks a little weird. Why is on on the other side of the caret, when they're all things firefox is telling me about the site. I know the one on the right is the favicon, and could in theory be content, but this is a default placeholder. If we're going to have so many markers it would be nice to think about how to frame them.

Not actionable, better to directly ask UX if they are evaluating something for this, but all the recent designs kept the situation similar to where we were, so I'm assuming no.
