If @Moonchild changes the behavior of the "Status Bar" and "Add-on Bar" without adding an option to avoid this change (as you proposed in a previous comment), then this decision may satisfy you but will displease those who prefer my approach. However, if @Moonchild adopts the solution I proposed (adding an entry in "about:config" so the user can decide), then this solution will not conflict with your proposal if the option you prefer is set as default in "about:config". In that case, you won’t have to do anything to get the solution you want, while I’ll have to change the setting in "about:config".back2themoon wrote: ↑2026-04-15, 21:45The problem here is that the decision whether to change (or not) the browser's UI, should be left to user. Not to extension icons.
I like flexibility too but if any extension can happily break it, then there's no point. So, IMO some sort of hardening against extension icons is needed and ideally a few extra options to play with the Status Bar's height.
I believe the Status Bar not getting affected by "Use Small Icons" is by design, but cannot be 100%. Only Moonchild can answer this stuff.
I like it too, but flexible should mean "only allow the user the change it", not "allow any extension icon to break it".tellu-white wrote: ↑2026-04-15, 16:59I like the fact that the size of the buttons on the "Status Bar" isn't limited by a fixed height of this bar, so I don't like the idea of @Moonchild changing this behavior in the Pale Moon code. Instead, he could add an entry in "about:config" for the option to make the heights of the "add-on bar + status bar" fixed or flexible, depending on users' preferences.

In my previous comment, I said:
In fact, the height of the "Status Bar" can be adjusted without targeting the bar with the ID "status-bar" but by adding the same code to the bar with the ID "addon-bar". However, this approach is not a good one because it alters the position of the notifications displayed on "Status Bar".If code is added to the "userChrome.css" file, the height of the "Status Bar" is set by the code added to the bar with the ID "status-bar", but the size of the displayed image for this button ("bypass_cloudflare_with_firefox_cookies_BUTTON.png" 32x32 pixels) is scaled down only by the code added to the bar with the ID "addon-bar"
Screenshots:
