Privacy and Advanced don't fit at all, Downloads is missing the bottom line of the last group box. It's especially bad for the privacy tab, the Settings button for the Clear Private Data Tool is (almost) invisible. Resizing the window helps, but the (new) size is not saved between invocations, so when I re-open the Preferences-Window it has the default (too small) size again. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open Preferences Window Actual Results: Window is too small Expected Results: Window should have correct size to show all controls

See especially the bottom where the Settings for Clear Private Data should be...

Duplicate of Bug 283697 At least be glad that Linux users have been able to manually resize the new Preferences since Feb.25 Trunk nightlies, well actually Feb.28 when it displayed right, unlike window users. what intersesting is that for me, the last couple of branch nightlies had the perfect sized Preferences for no matter what gtk theme used... shrugs. You could force a specific size so everything shows in preferences by putting this in the userChrome.css located in your Firefox profile. Adjust width and height numbers as needed, though I only need to use the width. #BrowserPreferences { width: 43em !important; height: 40em !important; }
