 Replying to [comment:9 gk]:


 > https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1418537 is the upstream
 bug.

 Thank you very much for the link. Could you please answer a few questions
 so that I might make a more informed decision about whether to continue
 using resolution 1000x998 in Tor Browser 8.0.2:
  1. Do all other Tor Browser 8.0.2 users on system displays with native
 resolution ≥1000x1000 have browser resolution 1000x998 in the following
 configuration like on my browser:
    a. custom ''Bookmarks Toolbar Items'' is in the toolbar.
    b. horizontal Bookmarks Toolbar is visible beneath the address bar.
    c. saved bookmarks and bookmarks folders are visible in horizontal
 Bookmarks Toolbar beneath address bar.
    d. all other browser settings affecting resolution have the original
 default configuration.

  2. Each time I start Tor Browser or each time I select a New Identity, is
 it best to resize the browser manually from 1000x998 to 1000x1000 to
 achieve uniformity with other Tor Browser users on platforms using
 displays with native resolution ≥1000x1000, or do other users have
 resolution 1000x998 when their browsers have the same configuration as
 mine on platforms using displays with native resolution ≥1000x1000?

  3. In order to have better uniformity within the community, should I
 modify any about:config preferences to change the resolution from 1000x998
 to 1000x1000?

  4. If so, which about:config preferences should I modify to have
 resolution 1000x1000?
