We could consider aligning the behavior of `-moz-appearance: checkbox` more closely with Chrome. The only usage of `-webkit-appearance: checkbox` that I could find on the web was to make radio buttons behave like checkboxes. For example:

However, in my testing I noticed that when applied to elements like <div>, Chrome displays the theme at the left side, collapses width of <div> to min-size, and
wraps text. Firefox displays the theme in the middle of the div, without
collapsing div's width, but it completely hides all text content!

Since I couldn't find any evidence of web content using the 'checkbox' value on such elements this is probably not a priority to fix, but filing so this is noted at least.
