Do you mean icons on the HTML formatting toolbar?

yes, as mentioned in "expected results".

OK, confirming. But this is a general problem with all toolbars in Firefox and Thunderbird. If the window is not wide enough, the icons are hidden with no way to access them. I am sure there must be a general bug for this problem. Until I find it I confirm this bug.

are you sure it's a duplicate ? ))

Because this thread i started regards "thunderbird" & not firefox .. .

Yes, but they are both based on Gecko and XUL and are using common modules/infrastructure to draw things like toolbars, HTML content etc.
