Extension Releases/Support • Re: Bypass Cloudflare with Firefox Cookies

Perhaps @Moonchild can chime in? What's the status of the Status Bar here? Is it strictly not to be touched/modified, or can any extension icon change its height at will or randomly? Shouldn't it be "protected" somehow? Unless it's a UI-modifying extension obviously, but we are not talking about that. Just extension icons of varying sizes that modify the Status Bar at will.

The "Status Bar" behaves strangely even with the buttons that belong to Pale Moon, such as the "Home" button. This button changes its appearance (displayed size) in the "Navigation Toolbar" (where it appears by default) depending on the "Use Small Icons" setting (Enabled or Disabled), but it does not change its appearance (displayed size) when placed in the "Status Bar". Furthermore, the height of the "Status Bar" remains the same and does not depend on the "Use Small Icons" setting (Enabled or Disabled):

However, the height of the "Status Bar" changes depending on the size of the largest button placed on it. I ran a test with my add-on "Bypass Cloudflare with Backup Browser Cookies", in which I included an image file "bypass_cloudflare_with_firefox_cookies_BUTTON.png" with an (inflated) size of 32x32 pixels. In this case, the height of the "Status Bar" with this button on it has increased to 40 pixels:

Actually, the add-on button is located in the bar with the ID "addon-bar" and not in the bar with the ID "status-bar":

If code is added to the "userChrome.css" file, the height of the "Status Bar" is set by the code added to the bar with the ID "status-bar", but the size of the displayed image for this button ("bypass_cloudflare_with_firefox_cookies_BUTTON.png" 32x32 pixels) is scaled down only by the code added to the bar with the ID "addon-bar":

All that being said, I like the fact that the size of the buttons on the "Status Bar" isn't limited by a fixed height of this bar, so I don't like the idea of @Moonchild changing this behavior in the Pale Moon code. Instead, he could add an entry in "about:config" for the option to make the heights of the "add-on bar + status bar" fixed or flexible, depending on users' preferences.
