Status: ASSIGNED

(Firefox :: Address Bar, task, P2)

Description

[Drew Willcoxon :adw]

General bug for using design tokens in urlbar for Nova. Maybe this ends up being a metabug, I don't know.

• Questions:
  • What are "design tokens"? I think it just boils down to CSS variables?
    • Colors?
    • Padding?
    • Margin?
    • Sizes?
  • Are there Nova-specific design tokens? Is this even related to Nova?
    • If there are, is it safe to start using them now or do we need to develop behind a feature flag?
  • Should we create design tokens if there are unaddressed urlbar use cases?
• To do
  • Figure out how much of urlbar's CSS can be updated to use design tokens
  • Address low hanging fruit
