IMO, the buttons need to be sized so that they appear no smaller than
1/2 the width of the former oblong buttons, or of a diameter that is
equal to the height of the former oblong buttons.
They also need to be placed far enough from the dialog box edge such
that a user doesn't risk overshooting them while attempting to point
and/or click with with consideration being given to the variety of user
available pointing/input devices - including mice, trackballs,
trackpads, pen tablets, and iso-static devices.
Buttons within ALL dialog boxes and/or other presentations furnished for
user input/interaction need to be of a size which is both visually and
tactilely accessible to/for all users of all abilities employing the
widest variety of equipment.
Thus evaluation of any proposed solution should also be performed at
varying screen resolutions and on display screens of various sizes, with
the worst case(s) being the smaller/smallest screens a user may be
likely to employ.
That analysis is more helpful than probably all the rest of this
thread, thanks for it, that actually gives us something to work with.
Could you please post it to the bug report?
See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=513691
Also, could you take a look on the proposal that was attached there?
It has a possible way of improivng the situation, and I'd like more
opinions on the way this goes.

I did actually post most of what is here in the bug report some days ago
- I'll take a further look.
It looks like someone has quoted my post from here in the bug thread,
which is certainly fine by me.
I'm still taken aback by all the ongoing arguments for form over
function going on in the bug thread...the new small buttons are clearly
NOT very functional, and the user being able to actually USE the
interface should be the only point of discussion here - not how it
"looks" or that someone considers the previous implementation "ugly" has
zero to do with it.
And blind is not the same as "visually (or otherwise) impaired" - I
myself suffer from cyclic iritis, and while my disease is presently
controlled and not particularly impacted, others are not as fortunate
and while not blind may yet require large text or presentations in order
to read or use an interface on a screen.
