Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

This is a followup to bug 575328. When firefox is not maximized (it's in windowed mode), and it is placed in the middle of the two monitors, it correctly places the awesomebar suggestion on the monitor where there is more than 50% of the window. however, it also does this for the google search box, and this seems to be incorrect as it is using the entire window's position rather than just the search box's position. 

STR: 
1. Put non-maximized window so that it is visible on both screens.
2. Type something in the awesomebar - you will see the suggestions appear on the monitor where there is more of the awesomebar, as expected. 
3. Position the window so that the window is more on the left monitor (so that the awesomebar suggestions appear on the left monitor), but the search bar is still entirely on the right monitor.
4. Type something into the search box and look at where the suggestions appear.

Expected: Suggestions from search appear on the right monitor right below the box

Actual: suggestions from the search appear on the left monitor, nowhere near the search box.


I have attached the screenshot of this behavior.

No longer reproducible this issue with latest Firefox 85.0 on Windows 7 x86.
