I'm not sure if this is an RFE or a bug, but I would like to see the font size
in the Tabs of the Tabbed browser much smaller. Possibly could be set by a pref
in the font panel?

Currently, I have tabs with things like "The...e Web". Sure I can mouseover and
get the full title, but more characters in a tab would do wonders. A font size
similar to the one in the personal toolbar would be better IMO. The height of
the current tab would almost accomodate two lines of text at that size.

font looks to be the same as in my PT, and any smaller would be very hard to read.

This is per theme.  Should this be split into a Classic and a Modern bug?  I'm
using the pinstripe theme, and the fonts are just big enough to read.
So is there any plan of action on this bug? For starters, the summary probably
should be changed to state which theme is the problem.

In Classic skin, the tab font is clearly larger than the URL and toolbar font.
It could easily be the same size without loss of readability.

I would be interested in working on this bug. Is there a tutorial/FAQ for GUI
tinkering? It should be a simple thing, right?

I opened up the various chrome files in the Moz package, found a whole bunch of
CSS, but couldn't figure out where the tab font size is assigned.

Found it in two places:

chrome/classic.jar/skin/classic/global/browser.css

.tab-text {
	font: icon;
        padding-top: 1px;
}

chrome/classic.jar/skin/classic/global/tabbox.css

.tab-text {
  font				: menu;
  font-weight: normal !important;
}

.tab-bottom > .tab-image-middle > .tab-text {
  font			    : message-box;
  font-weight		: bold;
  padding           : 0px;
  margin            : 0px !important;
}

browser.css has this to say about the toolbar font:

toolbarbutton.bookmark-item {
  margin: 1px;
  padding: 1px 0px 1px 7px;
  min-width: 0;
  max-width: 13em;
  font-weight: bold;
  color: #565656;
  border: none !important;
}

toolbarbutton.bookmark-item .toolbarbutton-text {
  font-size: 100% !important; 
  margin: 0px !important;
}

BTW, putting the following in userChrome.css is a workaround:

.tabbrowser-tabs .tab-text {
  font-size: 100% !important;
}

Somewhere in between Mozilla 1.0 and Firefox 3.0 the tab bar CSS changed. All is good now.
