2066568 - Form result icons dominate suggestions too much

Status: REOPENED

(Firefox :: Theme, defect)

Description

[Mark Banner (:standard8)]

Attachment: Large form icons that are larger and bolder than the text

STR

1. Enter some terms in a form that will be saved, and submit it.
2. Start to re-enter the terms.

Expected Results

The suggestions are displayed in a balanced pop-up.

Actual Results

I find my eyes drawn/distracted by the large icon, that is also bolder than the text. To me, the icon feels like it is trying to be more important than the text, rather than complimenting it.

Set release status flags based on info from the regressing bug 2062349

:kalenlu, since you are the author of the regressor, bug 2062349, could you take a look? Also, could you set the severity field?

Micah, I'm not sure where is the best place for this, but NI here as you originally fixed bug 2051370.

I asked our designer Ryan about this bug and whether or not to reconsider the sizing, but we'll be updating this to WONTFIX since the current size is what was specified in the spec: https://www.figma.com/design/IXJIBTXR4C7qj8bDp2dtRf/Credential-Management-UX-Specifications?node-id=1-4441&t=UXkbdCoE4u1QKQl8-1

That's pretty sad... I'm sure most users dislike it

FWIW not UX but as the desktop theme module owner I agree this looks unreasonable for ordinary history autocomplete items, and I'd like us to re-reconsider.

In fact I'd like this bug to stay open for the time being.

Hi Ryan! For autocomplete items with a single row of text (in this case it's form history), would it be reasonable to have the icon sizes set back to --icon-size ?
