Don't know how much of this is OMGchange reaction with myself, but I think this: http://imgur.com/SADe1vG looks really odd. I think the list should have a border, or the shading needs updating so it doesn't look so odd without borders. The effect is even worse when this is a scrollable container that's floating into space and where letters get arbitrarily cut off without any indication there's a border there. Richard tells me this was a UX decision. I'd really like this to be reconsidered. Michael/Philipp, can you comment?

Personally, I'm fine with it.

I sincerely hope that the situation where virtually every add-on has the »warning« background is temporary. After that I think it should be good enough. It feels a lot less weird when actually using it, since you have the context of just having scrolled somewhere.

Removing the bottom padding from .main-content should fix the viewport issue.
(In reply to Tim Nguyen [:ntim] (mostly away until 26 August) from comment #4) > Removing the bottom padding from .main-content should fix the viewport issue. Totally agree! (just wanted to report a bug for this myself...) The bottom padding looks incredibly weird (when scrolling items come from nowhere!). Also it is not on par with about:preferences where no padding is present (neither on top nor on bottom).
