Shouldn't a "resize" mouse icon appear when I hover the mouse at the right edge of the search field in my toolbar? It doesn't appear anymore after I accidentally clicked on "Restore Defaults" in the bottom right corner in the "Customize Firefox" menu and then "Restore" again and restarted Firefox again. Is this a new Firefox bug? :/ I already tried in safe-mode too

Solved! Shoutout to @emilio:mozilla.org on develop.element.io for the idea of temporarily moving it RIGHT next to the URL bar again, then resizing it and then moving it back all the way to the position where I had it before (all the way left)! :)
