Some pull down menus have a different rendering with or without e10s.
The screenshot should be explicit.

This is affecting GNU/Linux

This seems familiar.  A polish bug. But a couple of quick searches doesn't turn up a dupe.

Still reproduces on latest Aurora (46.0a2) and latest Nightly (47.0a1). The rendering is different with or without e10s.

Sorry but could you explain why e10s is changing the style? Thanks

Drop downs under e10s are a different type of xul element - we have to remote their display. The select is in content, the child window gets created in chrome. Jeff Griffiths took a look at this felt the new styling was cleaner. Feel free to reopen to discuss, but we wont block on this.

Ok, thanks.
I don't have an opinion on the new style and I won't bikeshed on this.
I was just surprised to discover that an architectural change impacts the l&f of the browser.
