Clearlooks provided a workaround for a bad bug with buttons in Firefox 1.5. Ever since the interface switched to what it is now in 2.0 and 3.0, the hack is not necessary but was forgotten about, so it stayed. This hack is what causes the bad borders.

The sudden switch to native widgets came as a shock to GTK engine authors everywhere who kept the original Clearlooks Firefox hack. Nowadays things are getting better, the Glossy theme in Ubuntu Gutsy doesn't show the problem but there is still an issue with textbox borders. Hopefully they can take care of any remaining issues before the Fx3 release.
