626153 - "Bookmarks Toolbar Items" have uncustomizable extra space to the right

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, defect)

Description

[Josh Triplett]

If I customize my toolbars and move the "Bookmarks Toolbar Items" to the right side of the menu bar or the tab bar, and put a flexible space to their left, I'd expect them to end up flush to the right.  However, they instead have extra space on the right, which in the customize mode shows up as part of the bookmarks toolbar items rather than as a space I can remove.

And indeed I do want my bookmarks right-justified.  If I want a flexible space to the right, I can add one.

So, filing this different bug now.

Same here. It's the only thing that keeps me from going one-toolbar only. 
Here's example:

At some point, this bug was fixed; the bookmarks toolbar items no longer seem to have a built-in flexible space.
