844651 - Separator line between Toolbars and Content gets lost when tab bar is not shown

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Theme, defect)

Description

[[e-mail]]

Attachment: schreenshot with and without tabs/separator line

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:19.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/19.0
Build ID: 20130215130331

Steps to reproduce:

I unchecked the option "Tabs | Tab-Liste immer anzeigen" (Tabs | always show Tab bar) and have only one document open, so the Tab bar is not shown.


Actual results:

The 1-Pixel separator line between the bookmarks toolbar and the page content is missing; the page content directly attacht to the bookmarks without a separator.


Expected results:

A thin separator line should be visible between toolbar and content. This was the case in all firefox versions until 11; the line got lost with Firefox 12.

I think it's made like that by purpose, see bug 618770.

The bug has been fixed with Firefox release 23.

Additional explanation: Firefox 23 by default always shows a tab bar, but the old behaviour can be restored using the Add-On "Hide Tab Bar With One Tab". I have installed this add-on. Now the tab bar is hidden again if only one tab is open, AND a separator line is displayed between toolbars and content.
