1907503 - input field in find bar no longer has a border on macOS

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1907501

(Firefox :: Theme, defect)

Description

[Sören Hentzschel]

Since bug 1886729 the input field in the find bar (Cmd + F) no longer has a border. Therefore, it's very difficult to see a difference between the input field and the toolbar itself. This could be considered as an a11y issue. The address has the same bad contrast since years, though. So maybe you won't consider it as an a11y problem.

Additional note: The border is missing on Windows as well, but only since Firefox 128. So for Windows there is a different cause (bug 1907501).

I decided to file it as regression because even if there is no longer a border on Windows as well, it regressed two releases later (sounds unexpected), and for Windows, it's not clear for me if it was intended at all. Also, I guess, the expected behavior is to have this border either on all or no platforms.

This was intentional, and matches the linux styling (and as you mentioned, the URL bar) for a long while.

I'm closing this for now, but we could file a different bug to re-evaluate whether we want borders here everywhere or what not.
