Extension Releases/Support • Re: Bypass Cloudflare with Firefox Cookies
The 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 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.
I like it too, but flexible should mean "only allow the user the change it", not "allow any extension icon to break it".
