2079089 - Muted icon on pinned tabs obscures notification indicator

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect, P2)

Description

[[e-mail]]

Attachment: 2 screenshots, top is with Nova disabled and shows unread indicator on Discord; bottom screenshot shows Nova enabled, where unread message indicator is obscured

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:157.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/157.0

Steps to reproduce

I updated my Firefox version to the latest version (157.0) by restarting my browser when prompted by green bubble on hamburger menu in the upper-right corner of my browser window.

Actual results

Upon restart, I noticed that the position of the "muted" indicator icon on my pinned Discord tab had changed. On the new version, it appears at the bottom right of the fav icon for the tab in question, instead of in the upper-right. The new position obscures the red, unread message indicator on that icon, preventing me from seeing at a glance whether or not I have unread messages.

Expected results

However the "muted" indicator appears on muted tabs, I should be able to view unread message indicators for those tabs.

:nsharpley, since you are the author of the regressor, bug 2023619, could you take a look? Also, could you set the severity field?

Discord is rendering a badge in the lower-right of their own favicon, so Firefox does not control that notification badge. Any time we place UI elements over a favicon, we run the risk of obscuring a part of the favicon.

Just noting this for consideration of where/how to place UI controls on small tabs (pinned tabs, tabs in collapsed vertical tab strip).
