Affected versions

  • 87.0b5, 88.0a1(2020-03-03);

Affected platforms

  • Windows 10, macOS 10.13

Steps to reproduce

  1. Launch Firefox, access about:preferences
  2. Grab the browser and shrink it's height so the scrollbar for preferences section is displayed;
  3. Reduce width as well, so the text is no longer displayed just the image icons;

Enhancement suggestion

  • one one attempted implementation the buttons "moved up" instead of remaining fixed in the current position, making the scrollbar not needed on certain sizes;
  • the enhancement would be to re-adjust and reduce spacing to better fit this section on certain low-resolution or high-zoom levels;

Actual result

  • scrollbar is displayed;

Regression range

  • considering "good" builds where the section category buttons were not in a fixed position(even though the bottom side was not contained) in case it might help:
  • First bad: 2017-10-06;
  • Last good: 2017-10-07;
  • Pushlog: URL

Additional notes

  • this feels like a dupe, but couldn't find anything specific to it logged;
  • attached a screenshot to better illustrate the issue.
