268739 - Search bar appears after the Firefox window when it's on the Bookmarks Toolbar

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, defect)

Description

[David Janes]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

When the search bar is on the Bookmarks Toolbar it seems to appear after the
Bookmarks Toolbar when Firefox or a new window is loaded.

I didn't notice this on the nightly I was using (a couple of days old) but it's
certainly there on 1.0 final.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put the Search bar on the Bookmarks Toolbar
2. Make sure the Bookmarks Toolbar is full of bookmarks
3. Launch a new window
Actual Results:  
The Bookmarks Toolbar loads then the Search Bar appears on top of it

Expected Results:  
The Bookmarks Toolbar and the Search Bar should appear at the same time

A similar thing happens if your bookmarks can't fit on the Bookmarks Toolbar -
the last one will appear then suddenly disappear when you launch a new window.

Although this is a minor bug (almost a polish bug) for some reason it's
strangely annoying.

I think this might be a Windows only bug; it certainly exists on three Win2k
machines.

This bug was reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.3 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME
