Option to only show Bookmarks Toolbar on about:newtab (closes after navigation) #2740

Open ghost opened 8 years ago

ghost commented 8 years ago

Hello! I'm sorry, if I can't write here about it. First time I try to write an issue. As I already said, would be nice to add Chrome like behavior with bookmarks. Chrome has a really good option which hides bookmarks toolbar and shows it only when you want to add a new tab. I've never seen this possibility in another browsers though that's very comfortable. Sorry for my English.

@NyanTyrrell can you confirm I've captured this properly? I want to make sure the feature request is clear, in case anyone wanted to grab this

bsclifton commented 8 years ago

@NyanTyrrell could you verify the above steps I captured sound correct? Thanks :smile:

ghost commented 8 years ago

@bsclifton I'm sorry. Didn't see your message. Yep, I mean this feature.

@NyanTyrrell does the bookmarks toolbar go away once you've navigated to a page?

ghost commented 8 years ago

@bsclifton Yep, they just disappear when you open a page. This feature saves space.

bsclifton commented 8 years ago

Awesome! Thanks for verifying, @NyanTyrrell :smile: This would be a great feature

/cc @bradleyrichter the need for this is slightly diminished once we have a new tab page, but this is a pretty cool option.

bradleyrichter commented 8 years ago

I am concerned that we will have a lot of UI movement because our BM bar is above the tabs but maybe some CSS animation would soften it up. Certainly worth a test... Thanks @NyanTyrrell !
