Move highlighting button inside the search bar #100

It will be a great space saver if there was an option to move the highlighting 
button inside the search bar next to the magnifying glass. Like the reload 
button in the address bar is next to the down arrow.

It is also, IMHO, much more esthetic and places the button in its correct 
context.

This is an interesting idea and actually like it.

However it's simply not how custom buttons work in Firefox. Therefore we'd need 
a substantial amount of custom code to implement it (which is likely to often 
break on internal changes in Firefox) and we would loose customizability 
through Firefox's customization dialog (therefore we would probably need 
substantial amount of code to rebuilt it ourselves).

I'm not sure the advantages outweigh the disadvantages at this point.
