Testing completed (on m-c, etc.): on m-c.
Risk to taking this patch (and alternatives if risky): low. Only CSS.

Seems to work on Linux-x86_64 with
* 11.0b1 as opposed to Nightly 20120125.
* Aurora Gecko/20120202 Firefox/12.0a2 as opposed to Gecko/20120101 Firefox/11.0a2

However, on my system it means that the file list can be much larger than the editor while there is a lot of blank space. If the text was larger, even less of it would fit, and/or more horizontal scrolling would appear. Do the text sizes depend on anything, and if yes, what about deriving the width from them? See also bug 719457.

"blank space"?

Which text?

Sorry - I am not sure to understand. Can you open a new bug with screenshots?

Verified using Firefox 11 beta 1 on Win 7, Ubuntu 11.10 and Mac OS X 10.6 that the Style Editor switches to vertical only when the width  is < 550 px.
