Sometime the past few days the fonts in the remote connection screen (the one you get from the 'Connect...' menu item became really small. It is very evident in the host/port labels, but also in the target list after one connects to a remote instance.

My guess is that this is a regression from bug 826685, so CCing Paul and Mihai.

My new glasses didn't improve the situation, so I really had to fix this, otherwise the connection screen was barely usable for me.

Tested on Lion, Mountain Lion, Ubuntu 12.10, Windows 7 and Windows XP: in all cases there was an improvement. Besides the tiny font, OS X has large round borders in the input box which need to be accompanied with larger horizontal padding.

I though the extra large inputs were just a side effect of the font size. They look kinda' funky to me.

They don't feel that large in all operating systems, actually. My guess is that Paul tried to fill the large empty space somehow.

I'd rather not make non-obvious fixes/changes in this bug, though. Let's file followups for more UI tweaks.

Verified as fixed on Firefox 21 beta 3 - 20130416200523.
While trying to verify this fix on Firefox 22, I noticed the following: although I set devtools.debugger.remote-enabled to true and restart Firefox, I don't get the remote debugger option in the Tools menu anymore (nor anywhere else). Is this expected? Is there another way I can get to the connect dialog?
To get the "Browser Debugger", you also need devtools.chrome.enabled since Browser Debugger runs in a separate process and is not simply a remote tool, like Style editor or profiler.

Yes, both Remote Debugger and Remote Console have been replaced by the 'Connect...' menu item mentioned in comment 0.
It's the "Connect" item I was referring to. For some reason it didn't show up until I restarted Firefox several time. I'm not sure what happened there, but I can't seem to reproduce it again.

I did verify this bug as Fixed on Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:21.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/22.0 - 20130514181517.
