This will likely require some discussion with UX. Not sure if we'd like to bump the footer up a bit (would leave an odd gap at the bottom of the page though) or if we could maybe push the link text over some (I think this option makes more sense).

STR:
Enable nova with browser.nova.enabled pref
Hover over a link on any page and notice how the footer panel for the link's URL gets clipped by the rounded corners of the tab panel

We know the radius, maybe we can try just adding a proportional padding-inline-start with it? I'll try it out.
