Bug 1294885 - Apply padding to the start and end of the Bookmarks Toolbar so bookmark items don't appear abutted to the edge of the window.

Details 
On Windows we give the back button `padding-inline-start: 5px;` but we don't have any padding for the bookmarks toolbar items which can appear pushed up against the edge of the window. This looks unpolished.
OSX already has padding: 0 4px 4px; for the #PersonalToolbar. I used the respective padding-inline-start values for the #back-button for Windows and Linux.
Doesn't this patch break fitts' law for the bookmarks toolbar?
Flags: needinfo?(jaws)
Yes, it does. But I don't think it's something we need to optimize for here. Not all buttons need the fitts law treatment, mainly buttons that we specifically want users to be able to hit quickly, such as the back button and menu button.

We could put the padding inside of the button but that will make the hover state look weird due to how we draw these buttons.

You can just write padding: 1px 4px on Linux. While you're at it, maybe also move it to the next rule with the same selector except for :not(#addon-bar)? You're reusing the same rule on Windows (where you can probably write padding: 0 5px too).

Still need to remove the redundant #navigator-toolbox > toolbar:not(#toolbar-menubar):not(#TabsToolbar):not(#nav-bar) rule on Linux

I left it because removing it would remove the padding from the addon-bar.

That toolbar is always hidden.

Ok, we I filed bug 1296395 to remove that selector from some of the other rules.
