I don't see what could cause this.  I can't reproduce on Firefox
3.0.12 on RHEL 5.  Does it happen on a fresh profile or on other
machines?  Does it go away if you hide some things with CSS?  If so,
what rules make it stop?

No, this is not something that justifies a user preference.  It's one
line and some tooltips.  If it's actually causing significant problems
for some users, most likely we'd just remove it altogether (and report
a bug to Mozilla if appropriate).
