Comment (by monmire):

 Tor Browser 8.0.4 (Apple MacOS) has default screen resolution `1000 Wide x
 1000 High` with all browser settings affecting screen resolution in their
 default-standard settings.[[BR]]

 After selecting `View/Toolbars/Bookmarks Toolbar`, the screen resolution
 changes to `1000 Wide x 0990 High`.[[BR]]

 I first noticed a similar regression, `1000 Wide x 0998 High`, in Tor
 Browser 8.0. [[BR]]

 Neither the previous regression `1000 Wide x 0998 High`, nor the current
 regression `1000 Wide x 0990 High` existed in Tor Browser 7. See comment:5
 [[BR]]

 Screen resolutions in Tor Browser 7 and Tor Browser 8 with identical
 configuration `View/Toolbars/Bookmarks Toolbar`:[[BR]]

 `1000 Wide x 1000 High` — Tor Browser 7.5.6[[BR]]
 `1000 Wide x 0998 High` — Tor Browser 8.0, 8.0.1, 8.0.2, 8.0.3[[BR]]
 `1000 Wide x 0990 High` — Tor Browser 8.0.4[[BR]]


 Let's fix this regression so that when Tor Browser has configuration
 `View/Toolbars/Bookmarks Toolbar`, the screen resolution will be `1000
 Wide x 1000 High`, identical to screen resolution `1000 Wide x 1000 High`
 in Tor Browser 7.5.6 with the same configuration  `View/Toolbars/Bookmarks
 Toolbar`.

 Platform: Mac OS X 10.10.5 Yosemite on Apple iMac24 Intel desktop pc.
