Line is a rewrite of the Mozilla Labs: Prospector - oneLiner addon using the latest API.

Screenshots

Here are some screenshots from the addon:

Basic functionality

Urlbar is focused, it has grown

Using the search button and autodetecting a search engine

Options and urlbar to the right

Features

Different modes of how the url-bar behaves when you focus it or not:
- Fixed: the url-bar's width does not change.
- Sliding: the url-bar's width behaves as in the original oneLiner, growing when focused.
- Flexible: the url-bar's width takes as much space as possible, when tabs are added the url-bar's available space reduces.
Search button: Replicates the search button behavior of the search-bar including search engines properly unlike oneLiner.
Customizable width of url-bar for when focused and when not focused.
Customizable min/max-width of tabs.
Customizable: Identity label can retract/slide-back when url-bar is focused and then return to normal when it is not. This provides more space to write the URL. An icon is still left so that you can see if it is a secure connection or not. You can disable this feature if you like.
Opt-in Drag button for users that find it difficult to drag the window due to
the small spaces that are left, when many tabs are open, for dragging the window.

Fixes

Compared to oneLiner it fixes a few things:

Titlebar buttons do not overflow anymore.
The search button can be moved or removed.
