I also see the text too low on my machine. It's CSS with the pixel
height defined, so there's not much you can do.

Do you need a cure as a designer or as a user? If you need a cure as a
designer this is not the list. If you need a cure as a user then go to
getfirefox.com and bugzilla it. Copy the code below in your bug:
<div style="position: absolute; left: 2px; width: 69px; right: 0px;
height: 19px; font-size: 12px; text-align: center; padding-top: 1px;
z-index: 1; font-weight: normal;">Satellite</div>
