If you install any lightweight theme, the close button on tabs is shifted to the right and is almost touching the curved border. It also becomes very difficult to click on it.

Here is a small webm video showing the bug, you can see how the close button moves to the right when the lightweight theme is selected from the addon manager

Will that get fixed or improved before Australis hits the release channel? This bug pretty much makes the use of light themes broken for Linux users.

I'm confused. Why does the button moving make it hard to click? I mean, I get that it's a visual artifact, but I don't see why it'd affect the functionality of the button, and your screencast doesn't help in this respect.

As it is, this likely won't get fixed before 29 is released unless someone steps up to do the work because it's a P4. We have our hands full on higher-priority bugs (P1-P3).

parts of the button are not clickable and the hover state of the close button is not shown

I deleted localstore.rdf in my profile and the bug disappeared, so my problem was probably a corrupted profile. Marking as INVALID
