User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-CA; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101206 Ubuntu/10.10 (maverick) Firefox/3.6.13
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-CA; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101206 Ubuntu/10.10 (maverick) Firefox/3.6.13

I use Firefox 4 (currently beta 11) on my HTPC running Windows 7. Because it's an HTPC I have the UI scaled to 150% or even higher (my eyesight is poor). Most applications scale the interface to match the custom DPI (including Firefox 3.x) but the chrome in the recent betas does not scale. This includes the toolbars and the statusbar (when it's visible as with the download statusbar addon). I would expect both text and graphics for UI elements to scale but they do not.

In Firefox 4 beta 10 it seemed that the toolbar elements did scale but the icon/graphic did not. The back/forward buttons were as tall as the toolbar height (determined by text in the URL bar for example) but the icon was not proportionally larger and the icon was not larger so the button was not round.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to display settings
2. Set text size to "Larger - 150%"
3. Restart windows and Firefox 4b11
4. Observe that the toolbar is smaller than in other apps
