For the very reasons you developed your Firefox add-on, I like it, too. Over the years, I’ve increasingly modified my desktop and aps–always looking for clean, simple designs, and always looking to undo as much of the cartoonish styling of most Microsoft products. Finding Firefox and the Add-ons was fantastic.

But I’d never found a fix for that search bar ’til I saw your add-on. So thanks for that. And, like some of the others, I’ll be happy to see your add-on upgraded to work with Fox3.

Best regards, Andy

I think the option to add a set width will be better

Hi,

I love the idea, but I’m using FF 3.0b5 already… I wouldn’t like to switch back to FF 2, so, any chance you could have this extension working with the new Firefox? I’d be delighted!

Cheers

Malte

Excellent extension. With so many desirable toolbar icons, this extension cleans up the GUI.

FYI, Ctrl+k puts focus in the search bar too. Tab moves the focus out of the search bar. (short term fix for Deepak).

FEATURE REQUEST: the size of the search box requires finesse to select. How about making the selectable space wider for mouse users? Something like the same width as it is high.

FEATURE REQUEST: Can you also change the minwidth of the address bar? This will allow the search bar to expand more if they are on the same toolbar.

All’s well on FF2 for me!

[...] Con Toggle Search dispondrás de un poco más de espacio útil en tu barra de direcciones, ya que la extensión reduce al mínimo posible la barra de búsquedas. Cuando necesitas hacer una búsqueda, simplemente haces click en la barra y ésta se expandirá para que escribas cómodamente. [...]

IN FF2.0 ; there are some issues :-
1)no toggle button — a much needed way
2) Earlier in FF1.5 we used to toggle the bar with ‘ctrl+e’ shortcut but now (FF2.0) there is no way to toggle. We can just open the search bar by ‘ctrl+e’
but how to again minimize it?
Until an unless after opening the search bar ,we make a search …there is no way to just toggle the search bar….

I hope i made the last point clear…It looks very elegant if we can toggle the search bar by same shortcut….immaterial of , whether we make search or not.

I have upgraded to FF 2.0 b1 and now when i hit the toggle search button it shows a blank spot instead of the search box. I used Nightly tester tools to force compatibility but this seems to be one of the few extensions which doesn’t work with 2.0 b1. please update and fix this bug

Unfortunately, TS v0.2 is still not playing nice with SEO. When toggling into search mode, none of SEO’s capabilities are available. I still think this one is a winner and if it wasn’t for the issue with SEO it would be a "must have" for me. I did appreciate that v0.2 now saves users the step of having to manually remove the search box and add the toggle switch, a very nice touch. I do hope that you are inclined to, and do, find an answer to the compatability issues (SEO, SearchWP et al.) soon. Thanks for your efforts.
