STR: 1. Run Firefox from the command line to open the Profile Manager: firefox -P RESULT: The Profile Manager UI is TOO BIG. Please see the attached screenshot. This is a regression in Nightly 46. Is this a dupe of bug 1236867? That bug only mentions the size of checkboxes in localized builds.

When you say "too big" in regards to the profile manager UI, are you referring to the size of things within it or the size of the window itself?

I mean that the profile manager windows' contents was so large that not even one profile entry fits in the window without scrolling. I'm using a MacBook Pro with a HiDPI/Retina display, if that matters.

I also have this problem on a HiDPI windows machine (dpi 150%). The window viewport cannot even fit a single profile list entry and the containing modal is not resizable. Even if the text were smaller this wouldn't be okay, though. The profile UI is just not well-designed for this use case. The header ('about profiles', etc) is enormous and has tons of whitespace, and the individual items have lots of wasted space too (in particular, the absurd number of duplicated per-item buttons). I'm happy to see someone try to redesign the profiles dialog but this is a big, big usability regression.
Hi Chris, I'm unable to reproduce this on the latest Nightly(47.0a1). Profile Manager UI was rolled back to the old UI version in 47.0a1 and this bug is not valid anymore. User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:47.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/47.0 Build ID: 20160126030244 Thanks, Paul.

Hi Paul, Glad to see it was rolled back. Is it gone permanently? If it's not, this bug should be left open to ensure that it is addressed in the event that the new profile manager UI returns. Also, it seems inaccurate to resolve this as 'invalid' when the rollback fixed the problem. The problem definitely existed and the bug was accurate.
Hi Chris, The Password manager UI will return on future versions. It was removed because it was buggy. The reason I marked this issue as INVALID its because on the current builds, this is no longer applicable. It may have been a bug in the past, but it is not applicable anymore in the current version, making it INVALID for the latest Nightly 47.0a1. When the new Password manager interface will return and if you are still going to encounter this issue, please feel free to reopen this bug, or file a new one. But giving the current situation, this is not a valid bug. Thanks, Paul.

This was backed out in 46 as well in bug 1239848.
