(I don't know if this better fits in the Theme and Visual Design component).

Originally reported in Bug 1078393, the current max-width: 14px style prevents Fennec users from being able to interact with "custom" checkbox styling techniques [1].

I wrote about this in https://miketaylr.com/posts/2014/10/max-width-in-firefox-mobile-browser-checkboxes.html. 

Compare Mobile Safari, Chrome Mobile, Opera Mobile, and Windows Phone with Fennec (or Firefox OS, to be filed) on the linked demo [2].

Note that desktop doesn't have max-width on it's checkboxes so people who don't test on mobile won't even know they need to manually override the ua stylesheet's max-width.

The patch is simple... my only concern is there might be some internal code relying on the max-width of a checkbox being exactly 14px. Weirder things have happened.
