Also, the space between the menu bar items and the bookmark toolbar items cannot be used to drag or maximise/restore the window - only the space to the right.

Hi Peter,

Thank you for taking the time to add your report.
I do not fully understand the expected result, but the bookmarks toolbar position can be changed if you go to Menu->Customize->Toolbars (on the bottom side of the page)-> select the bookmarks toolbar and then drag&drop the toolbar in the location you would like to have it. 

If this does not resolve the issue, please reply to this thread. I'll also add this to the proper component: Toolbars and Customization for better visibility and more advised input if needed.

The distance between the "Help" menu item and the first entry in the bookmark tool bar items (here "Google") cannot be set by the user, it is automatically calculated by Firefox.

Up until roughly the day I raised the bug, there was a small, *FIXED* amount of space between the menu bar and the bookmark tool bar items.

Following an update to Nightly, the spacing is now *VARIABLE* and pads to centre the bookmark tool bar items between the menu bar and the window controls (minimize, restore, close).

The former behaviour (left justified, fixed spacing separating from the menu bar) was correct.

The current behaviour is wrong.

Background window is 65.0a1 (2018-11-27) (64-bit) on Windows 10

Foreground window is 63.0.3 (64-bit) on Linux (Kubuntu 18.04.1)

The foreground image shows the correct behaviour that used to be the case on Nightly on Windows.

What, specifically, are you seeing that you think is what this bug was originally about (screenshots would probably help), and are you sure your nightly is up-to-date?

oops. sorry. I mistake this bug as bug 1411372.
