1919193 - Hide Lock and Shield Icon Persisted Search State and use a Simplified Design

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: Address Bar, task, P1)

Description

[James Teow [:jteow]]

We received new specs from UX because the new implementation of Persisted Search, the inner text box, was too jarring.

Instead, Persisted Search should return to a more subtle approach in conjunction with only having the feature work with app provided engines.

However, we shouldn't throw out all the ideas from the new implementation. Adding a revert button and a page action button is still required as it allows user to retrieve information that can only be visible from a valid pageproxystate. The page action button only reverts the urlbar but in the future show a list of page actions.

I propose having Persist Search Terms go back to only being visible in an invalid pageproxystate, which would allow the urlbar to show a magnifying glass on the left hand side if Scotch Bonnet is disabled, and the Unified Button otherwise.
