about:config right-click

  • Does not have background
    color, and is in fact
    Transparent. Hard to
    read if more items in
    config list were shown.
  • The Back/Forward buttons
    are oversize (not 16x16)
    have large margins/padding
    and wipe out the toolbar
    below and are misaligned
    vertically.
  • (ongoing) can't reduce
    tool heights and separators.
  • (ongoing) can't reduce
    spacing between buttons.

Mozilla won't mess up the

themselves.  Only
mess up user prompt
boxes as in the other
examples.
