Reasoning in bug 970511 comment 18.

(In reply to Jared Wein [:jaws] from comment #19)
> It's consistency with the New Tab Page thumbnails.

That's not reason enough for this to be a link. For one, as I've explained, there are places where we've randomly used links instead of buttons for no reason, and we don't want new UI to be consistent with a mess we've created elsewhere. Secondly, there may actually be a valid reason for the New Tab page to use a link, like the fact that it's inside a box along with the "Tumbnail removed" text where a button may look strange, but that reason won't necessarily translate to about:customizing.
Jared, please take care of this by either making Undo a button or confirming that there's a good reason for it to be a link besides consistency with other unrelated UI. Thanks.

Stephen, this is what it would look like with a button instead of the Undo link. What do you think?

I agree that a button is the proper affordance to use here. 

We could have a whole debate about the use of links for secondary commands or for things with minor consequences, but this probably isn't the place ;)

Thanks!
