One must also first delete extensions.sqlite I believe, because it's all stored there. So the only reason for having it really is if you happen to install your theme from some source other than AMO, while AMO is down.

I haven't been enforcing the requirement that preview.png exist in themes, but it is in the requirement. I'll try lobbying to get this requirement removed.

I've just noticed that it's seemingly deliberately missing from Jetpacks?

You might look at :-moz-focusring too, if you didn't already, since that was new for Fx4 and wasn't there yet for 3.6. (That's Bug 418521.)

I just discovered:

-moz-transform: rotate(-15deg); <<< This works
-moz-transform: rotate (-15deg); <<< This does not because of the space after the word rotate.

I always thought parsers would properly handle spaces and the results would be the same.

Comments?

Inside of a property a space is usually used to delineate separate commands in a list. In some cases you can get away with spaces within commands, but this is generally only inside of brackets, for instance: color: rgb(0, 0, 0); works, but color: rgb (0,0,0); will fail.
