Alignment issues with Firefox + Gmail on Mac vs. PC

Alignment on the PC: The checkbox lines up with the star, the star lines up with my one-click icon, the icon lines up with the sender name, subject, and message preview. Nice; things line up pixel for pixel.

Alignment on the Mac: WTF? The checkbox and star line up, but past that, things are off kilter.

About

I think about interfaces a lot, and occasionally dream about programming. I'm always working on some project, which is why it stays pretty quiet around here.

When I'm doing doing any of that, I take photos, put down funky drum beats, make wicked sandwiches, and hold my own at pub trivia. I do all of the above for fun, and am continually searching for ways to make fun turn a profit.
