Thanks for your issue! The pin option was unclear. People expected it to toggle the stay-on-top option, so pinned toolbar feature was removed in 0.2.4. The pin now controls the stay-on-top option.

The change of this feature is making FloBro difficult for me to use. The Pin option, to me, was very clear on its purpose: to pin the menu bar.

I use FloBro with Ora.pm to keep my time tracking on screen somewhere and easily accessed, all the time, while I work. The menu bar keeps disappearing and making the contents bounce very uncomfortably, almost all the time. This is not only a nasty experience to use the website content, it also makes it very likely I'll misclick (this has happened plenty today).

The recommendation is therefore to enable 'Fit webview when title bar appears'. This means the title bar hovers over the web content. I can't use FloBro with Ora.pm with this option on because the title bar is covering a bar of options at the top of the Ora.pm screen.

Please restore this feature or at least make some kind of option to keep the bar on view permanently. I'm finding it hard to use. Make it one of those first four startup options, if people are finding it difficult to understand what 'pinning' means.

Great explanation. I will further investigate a solution for this. Maybe a toggle button for the toolbar instead of mouse-over action is better.

@cornips That might be a good solution. I don't usually need the toolbar at all. Its kinda annoying every time when it pops up on mouse over.
