And the location is:
C:\Users\Me\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\0alphanum.default-release\chrome\userChrome.css

You can go to about:profile (URL) to see what really is your profile folder.  Just to be sure.
Not sure if the numbers I put in the css above is right, you'll have to adjust as needed.   The -2px margin shrinks the spacing between 
lines.   I'll let you play.
