Comment (by Thorin):

 @ monmire. The inner window is only resized when opening a **new** window
 (which includes when you start Tor Browser). **It is not dynamically
 resized as you add/remove/change chrome elements**

 TB 8.06 (windows7)
 - density normal, toolbar on with icons: opens at `1000x996`, change
 density to compact and the inner windows is now `1000x1010`
 - new identity at density compact: opens at `1000x998`

 I do not have MacOS. It *may* be that compact on MacOS achieves 1000x1000
 on a new window, but then what happens if the toolbar has no icons (it
 will change size, and your *fix* will break). And what about all the
 people who don't use compact theme. This is not a solution, sorry.

 The problem is the icon padding and/or margins which change the height of
 the toolbar, and this happens after the resizing is calculated on the
 creation of a new window.
