== Spec ==
Firefox
* Add-on bar is a XUL toolbar, hidden by default
* Presence of add-ons makes the bar visible
* Status bar is initially integrated in a backwards-compatible way into the Add-on bar, possibly removed.
* Size/text+icon mode integrated into customization palette


Stage 1: Core
Jetpack
* Status bar is hidden by default, and re-parented
* Addon bar is hidden by default
* The presence of widgets makes the addon bar visible
* The default location for a widget is the addon bar
* The default widget size in the addon bar is 24px
* Widgets are XUL toolbar buttons
* Widgets are XUL toolbar buttons
* Widgets have a "container" property, which is the id of their default toolbar
* Default location for a widget is the Add-on bar
* The default "container" value is the id of the addon bar
* Widgets respect the sizing/text+icon settings of the Add-on bar
 
* Widgets have a "placement" property, which is the id of their default toolbar
Stage 2: customization
* The default "placement" value is the id of the Add-on bar
* Addon bar has settings for big and small sizes (16px or 24px widgets. how to switch? context menu? toolbar customization menu?)
* What else? Sorting? Pinning? DND ordering?
 
Detection (target TBD):
* No notifications when addon bar is not visible
* When addon bar is visible, an icon is shown in addon bar when addon is detected
* Clicking on the icon loads a panel that displays detected addons and recommended addons
* If the user opts into more aggressive notification, the panel will automatically load when addons are detected
* To improvde discovery of the panel, we could load it automatically the first time an addon is detected
* TODO: New icon from Alex
* TODO: More interaction development from Alex
