I know that the goal is to save space, but it feels like the height of the
bookmarks bar is too short. I'm being nitpicky, but if this is gonna be a
viable, marketable browser, it has to feel right. Maybe if you added on a couple
of mm's or something that would give it a little more brething room. Another
nitpick would be that the bookmark bar text should be bold and have a mouseover
state, but, once again, nothing that's major, but will do its part to help.

Reproducible: Always

Why? Lots of bold text is hard to read and takes up more space. Also it would
not match the toolbar text.

i guess we could play around with making the toolbar 1 or 2px taller.

see what happens, but if it still doesn't please you, it's fine. At least the
ones in the latest nightlies are better than the original 82 one. The current
one is at least the size of the firefox bar.

We change the height of the bm bar in the 0.9 nightlies a wwhile back to give it
more room. We experimented with 2px above and below the icons and that really
looked absurd. The way it's in the NB is best we can do. I don't think we should
try anything else.

I would say WONTFIX at this point.

True. The current builds are fine, comprable to the firefox height. Just enough
brething room to feel open, but still compact. wontfix is fine.
