Floating URlbar and Bookmark Toolbar Firefox Extension

This Firefox extension creates a modern, floating toolbar on web pages that provides quick access to your bookmark bar and a powerful URL/search bar.

Features

• Floating & Centered Toolbar: Appears as a transparent, blurred overlay in the center of the screen.
• Theme-Aware Design: Adapts its appearance (colors, backgrounds) to your Firefox light or dark theme.
• URL & Search Bar: A dedicated input field to quickly navigate to URLs or perform searches using Google (or your default engine if configured by Firefox).
• Smart Suggestions: Provides suggestions from your browsing history, bookmarks, and Google search as you type.
• Bookmark Grid: Displays your Firefox bookmark bar items (bookmarks and folders) in a visually appealing grid.
• Clickable Folders: Navigate into your bookmark folders by clicking on them. Includes a "← Back" button to return to the previous folder.
• Bookmark Icons: Shows website favicons (if available) or a fallback with the first letter of the site/title.
• Wrapped Text: Long bookmark titles/URLs wrap within their icon box for better readability.
• Keyboard Shortcut: Toggle the toolbar's visibility instantly with a customizable keyboard shortcut (default is Alt+Shift+B).
• Click Outside to Hide: Easily dismiss the toolbar by clicking anywhere outside of it.
• Focus on Open: The URL bar is automatically focused and ready for typing when the toolbar appears.

Limitations

• Webpages Only: Due to Firefox WebExtension limitations, the toolbar cannot be injected into privileged browser pages like about:home, about:newtab, about:addons, etc. It will only appear on regular websites (http/https).

Usage

• Navigate to any regular website (e.g., google.com, wikipedia.org).
• Use the keyboard shortcut (Alt+Shift+B by default) to show or hide the floating toolbar.
• URL/Search Bar: Type in the bar to see suggestions. Press Enter or click "Go" to navigate or search.
• Bookmarks: Click on a bookmark icon to open the URL in a new tab.
• Folders: Click on a folder icon to view its contents. Use the "← Back" button to go up a level.
• Hide: Click anywhere outside the toolbar to hide it.
