Comment (by Thorin):

 I was just pointing out that it also affects Windows - as the UPSTREAM bug
 already listed in this ticket says. A bug that was filed over a year ago,
 well before your one about MacOS. It doesn't matter if the title of this
 bug says "MacOS" (because that's what you choose), the problem is
 identical (i.e inner window height is not rounded to 100s) in Windows, and
 there is no point in duplicating tickets. The title should have been
 edited, IMO.

 Changing **your** density to compact doesn't mean the problem has been
 solved - it still exists by default for end users.

 The **underlying problem** is not OS specific, it is that icons on the
 toolbar cause the toolbar height to change (compared to a toolbar without
 icons), and that the algorithm used to calculate the chrome for window
 sizing, does so before the toolbar is populated, so it can't detect the
 new height. And this affects more than MacOS. And it has affected Firefox
 with RFP enabled since FF57, and it has affected all 6 releases of TB v8.*
 so far (on windows)

 I honestly would have brought this (see the bugzilla bug) to attention
 months ago, but I just assumed gk et al have it on a low priority, and
 that the viewport solution in ESR68 will suffice. Quite frankly, I'm not
 concerned, given that Mozilla haven't seemed interested in it either. Or
 gk et al have missed the point in glossing your walls of often repeated
 text and posts and full quoting of others in replies. You even bombarded
 the latest blog about the 8.0.6 release with two entries about this.
 Please, tone it down.

 Please don't bother replying to this, especially quoting it all.

 Georg, can you sort out the status (and title) of this bug please, thanks
