1580983 - Investigate using <toolbox> as an HTML element

Status: NEW

(Toolkit :: UI Widgets, task)

Description

[Tim Nguyen :ntim]

It would be nice to see what's missing/required when we switch over from XULElement to HTMLElement, and <toolbox> would be a great candidate for experimentation given the low number of usages and since it's not tied to many XUL features (flex/orient attributes, splitter, etc).

Attachment: Bug 1580983 - Investigate porting <xul:toolbox> to <html:moz-toolbox> custom element

This is a variation on the other patch in the bug, where we turn it into a Custom
Element in order to support common xul element properties (.flex, .hidden, etc).

This depends on the patch in Bug 1592369 which moves some of the xul flex attributes
into CSS

Depends on D51013

Abandoned it as I don't have immediate plans to work on this - I think the patch could be picked back up if/when we prioritize work on Bug 1563415
