So its better to eliminate wastage of space (a lot is wasted actually!) and make pages more viewable. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open Minefield right choose customize 2.and check "use small icons" in the option below 3.lot of pixels of space is wasted under the minefield button Actual Results: Can see a lot of space wasted b/w minefield button and the location bar. Expected Results: adopted changes to small icon's option by eliminating the free space left below minefield button (reverts back when usual icon settings are opted)

Just my two cents: There is no "wasted" space and I don't want Firefox to be streamlined to death. The "wasted" space is because of the height of the tabs. The UI team has decided that this is the appropriate height. To make those gaps mentioned above smaller, you would have to make the tabs smaller which, in my opinion looks bad.

This is the look you could get to have smaller gaps under the app-button in a maximized window under Windows 7. I think this odd look is not worth the saved pixels at all.

Yeah I'm Not sure. Maybe a little deduction would be better than completely using the space.

different sizes of tab bar in different modes would break consistency

It isn't exactly wasted space, since that dragging in that space will move/restore the window. Changing the height of tabs in different modes is bad for visual consistency. Also, the reduction of white space makes the toolbar makes it feel more crowded not streamlined. The balance in horizontal and vertical margins/padding will be improved in the ongoing visual refresh.
