Description
Hey,
the omnibar (if this is the proper name of the bar when you press "o") disappears partially when using it in firefox. It looks like it gets hidden behind elements of the webpage. On some sites, there is no problem at all (for example on google), but on others, the entire bar is missing. I can still type and press enter. I tried to make a screenshot of the problem. However, as soon as I open my screen shot tool (or do anything other that makes firefox go out of focus), the issue is fixed. When I again click on the bar, it disappears just like before. However, I have included a photograph of my screen, where the bar is partially hidden by the content of the github README
Vimium version 1.63.3
Firefox version: Nightly 61.0a1 (2018-04-16) (64-bit)

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in Firefox Nightly 61 with Vimium 1.63.3, opening the omnibar with "o" on sites where page content hides it. Compare the visible behavior across Google and GitHub README content, including after Firefox loses focus. Done means the omnibar remains fully visible while active, regardless of the page or focus changes.
