I don't see any difference between the old preference window and the in-content preferences when it comes to sorting. The arrows are pointing in the same directions, and the results of the sort are the same.

After sorting several times, one arrow becomes bigger than the other one. This problem appears only on Linux. Please see screenshot "issue.PNG".

Ok, thanks for the follow up. Reopening the bug, but not marking it as blocking bug 1014201 since it is hard to trigger, has low severity, and is only found on Linux.

Jared asked to combine the -moz-appearance: none;
I've additionally combined button > .button-box and menulist > .menulist-label-box.
