Back and Forward button should be on the left side of the toolbar

In nightly build based on ESR60 the buttons are next to the search bar. But they should be on the left side of the toolbar instead.

Reload button doesn't appear as well. NoScript ends up in the toolbar after an update.

(Wish: Set Density to compact by default (see >Customize))

Edit: HTTPS Everywhere eventually appears in the toolbar as well.

Here's a proposed patch to try to clean up the toolbar: https://github.com/arthuredelstein/tor-browser/commit/26237

I moved the HTTPS-Everywhere button off the toolbar by default, because it's rarely needed, but I left the NoScript button visible for temporary whitelisting purposes. (The HTTPS-E button can still be found in the Customize panel.)

I removed the search box and the "Flexible Space" around the URL bar, to give more room for v3 .onion domains. This seems OK given that the URL box also behaves as a search box.

I also included the Downloads button, but it auto-hides as long as no items have been download.

Here's what the result looks like:

Question: do we want to include a bookmarks button? It's not present in TBB 7.5 but maybe it's nice to have.

That's excellent Arthur, what I'd propose next is to place the Torbutton in the place of the home button which is very rarely needed (who needs to go back to about:tor?).

One thing which is very handy is the search engine drop down in the search box. DDG often has not the up-to-date content I need, so I can easily select a different search engine for that purpose. Is that possible with the URL bar, too? If not, I think we should get the search box back. In general, I think we should get as close as possible to the layout which we have in the current stable and then open a ticket for redoing the toolbar properly together with ux-team input in case we feel we need that. (So, yes, no Home button)

Huh, indeed. I wonder how I missed that. Great, then, yes, let's leave out the search bar.

Marked #26554 (moved) and #23547 (moved) as duplicate. comment:9:ticket:25693 has a good clean-up accoring to a cypherpunk.

Here's a revised version without the home button (I'd suggest we consider adding back a home button in the next iteration).

Looks good. Note that HTTPS-E does indeed show up on the toolbar on second start. That might be a case for #23359 (moved) but we'll need to deal with it during our security indicator redesign which is in the pipeline. Thus, I am fine leaving that issue as is for now.

Cherry-picked to tor-browser-60.1.0esr-8.0-1 (commit 51bc401c59cdaa7bf550a8ee955a27253285995e) (I adjusted the bug number of the commit and fixed a typo, fwiw).
