jscher2000 do to my physical limitations I can not get the steps to do the install maybe you can guide me thru it?

[MisterR1000]

Bingo! jscher2000's latest post this morning worked fine.
Fifteen back and forth messages here, cryptic, hidden and in-obvious changes in multiple Firefox "updates"...
This puts what could have been a solid, professional, well-maintained web browser into computer-geek amateur toy-land.

Can someone please give me a screenshot of theses direction


If you already have the file, you can add new rules to it (go to the end of the file, add a new line, then paste).

(1) To access your userChrome.css file, you need to open your profile folder. The steps for opening your profile folder are in the "HOW" article or in this Mozilla support article:

https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profiles ... -user-data

(2) Your userChrome.css file in a folder named chrome in your Firefox profile folder -- can you find that and open it?

(3) You can edit your userChrome.css file in Windows Notepad. It's not the best editor, but possibly the easiest to find. Otherwise, you could use WordPad. Try not to use any program that does fancy editing because it might corrupt your file.

(4) Then paste in the rules and save the file. When you do a regular exit/restart of Firefox, the new rules should be applied.

I'm trying to move from v90 to the latest version, v99. I've tried the values of 0px and it still is too wide, by 25%. For example, before I get 36 items and they all fit on my 1080p screen. Now, even with the 0px, it's only 27 items and so I have to scroll.

Is there a way to get it back to the earlier version width, here's my current .css file:

Code: Select all

@import url(userChrome_Fx56_bookmark_icons.css);
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");
/* Bookmark and context menu spacing */
menupopup > menuitem, menupopup > menu {padding-block: 0px !important;}
menupopup > menuitem, menupopup > menu {padding-top: 0px !important; padding-bottom: 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;}

You need to add a min-height:23px !important; rule.

Code: Select all

:root {
  --arrowpanel-menuitem-margin: 0 8px !important;
  --arrowpanel-menuitem-padding: 0 8px !important;
}
menupopup :is(menu,menuitem) {
  margin-block: 0px 0px !important; /*top bottom*/
  padding-block: 0px 0px !important; /*top bottom*/
  min-height: 23px !important; /*required to be able to go lower than 4px; adjust 21px-24px or none*/
}

The spacing of my entries in the Bookmarks Menu on the Menu Bar looks like the 2px or 3px spacing in jscher2000's screenshot. This is my preferred spacing. I have not used userChrome.css to modify it.

However... the spacing of my entries in the folders on the Bookmarks Toolbar is much further apart and looks like the standard spacing in jscher2000's screenshot. Can this spacing be modified by userChrome.css?

}

I ignored the comment and used 19px to get me exactly back to where I was. Thanks so much!!
