(Whiteboard: [Australis:P-][Australis:M-])
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0 (Beta/Release) Build ID: 20130910160258 Steps to reproduce: As Australis is now configured the Customize and Control UX panel has 3 icon columns and will extend as many rows as needed for the icons placed in that panel, creating an overflow scrollbar as needed. Actual results: On my monitor (1280 x 768 pixels) 3 icons wide by 10 horizontal rows creates an overflow scroll bar - with 28 icons in that panel. Expected results: I request that 2 user preferences be added (hidden or in about:config by default) which would allow the user to specify the width and max height of the Customize and Control UX panel via specifying the number of columns and number of rows, similar to the preferences for the New Tab Page. browser.newtabpage.rows & browser.newtabpage.columns

Is this because we're approaching the edge of your screen? I don't think we'd block Australis on adding a hidden preference for this since it wouldn't be worth the maintenance cost. An extension can likely provide this functionality.

Yes, it extends down over the Task Bar within ~10px of the edge of the screen. The Add-on Bar will be gone and users won't be able to create a Custom Toolbar, where are users supposed to place toolbar buttons when they have a large number of extensions installed? Room for 28 icons just may not cut it, especially when adding other extensions to replace features that have been removed. I'm filling the grid already with about half the number extensions I routinely use in Firefox, due to number of extensions that aren't yet compatible with UX.

To be clear, I agree that this is a problem, I just don't think a hidden preference that <1% of the user base will change is the right solution. It seems like extensions can already address the issue by adding customizable toolbars[1] or allowing the user to configure the panel size. If we find that this is a common problem, we can address this in a different way. [1] http://aris-at-mozilla.blogspot.ca/2013/10/modifiy-australis-ui-11-custom-toolbars.html
