1387616 - Improve toolbar/urlbar hiding when scrolling

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox for iOS :: Menu and Toolbar, enhancement)

Description

[Farhan Patel [:farhan]]

Our hiding/showing of the browser UI when scrolling could be improved

On sites where there is very little scrolling. We hide/show the browser UI creating a jittery experience. Right now we unhide the browser UI as soon as we get to the bottom of the page.

On the iPad hiding the urlbar at all seems a bit overkill. There is already so much real estate, instead just hide the toptabs and always show the urlbar. 


We can improve the urlbar experience on the iPhone in one of 2 ways.
1) Dont unhide the chrome when getting to the bottom of the page. Require the user to actively scroll up a bit in order to show the browser UI. The unhiding logic would always show the urlbar on scroll up regardless of the velocity. 
2) Only unhide the browser UI if the user tries to scrolls down once at the bottom of the page (this is what safari does)
