Context menu and pulldown menu line spacing

Post by arturox »

Weary sigh!
I find with Fx 91 they've again done the stupid wide spaces between lines in the Context menu and pulldown menus and taken away the user ability to get it back to single spaces with the "about:config" browser.proton.contextmenus.enabled set True.

Now it doesn't matter if it's True or False the Pulldown menus and Context menu, text remain double spaced.

Anyone know if a bit of css in userChrome can sort this problem.

Thanks

Hi,
It seems as though a lot of people do not like the new versions much.
Can't say I blame them. With Firefox v90? closed & it still auto updates? Really?.

Here's a couple of links that may help out.

Moving this to Firefox Support...

Agreed. I find it very frustrating when my bookmark folders do not fit on the screen anymore. I would like to continue with Firefox after using it for many, many years, but think it is time to move on to a different browser that is more user friendly and configurable.

Tested and working in FF 91.0:
about:config toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets true
Create folder and file C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\XXX.default-release\chrome\userChrome.css and copy the following lines at the top. Restart Firefox. If it doesn't work, delete all the lines in the file and leave only these:

Code: Select all

/* Bookmark and context menu spacing */
menupopup > menuitem, menupopup > menu {padding-block: 0px !important;}
/* Options menu spacing */
:root {--arrowpanel-menuitem-padding: 0px 0px !important;}
/* Disable rounded tabs */
.tab-background{border-radius: 0px 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;}
