Firefox 93 overpadding solved?
I'm using Firefox version 90 and have been blocking updates mainly due to the weird over-padding on the vertical dropdown menus. (I've applied the proton tweaks that work with v.90 to tighten up the padding.)
That said, I think it's not that great a practice to use older versions, sooo I wanted to ask whether version 93 (or is it 94 now?) still has the over-padding, and if so, whether there's a way to fix it — and what might that way be?
And, I'm running Windows 10.
Thanks so much for any help and tips.

Re: Firefox 93 overpadding solved?
Proton tweaks in about:config no longer work. You must use CSS now.
Try this CSS snippet in your userChrome.css:
0px is the minimum vertical spacing, and I like it this "tight". So you can adjust the values larger to your liking if needed.
Try this CSS snippet in your userChrome.css:
Code: Select all
/* v92.0 vertical menu item spacing */
menupopup:not(.in-menulist) > menuitem,
menupopup:not(.in-menulist) > menu {
padding-block: 0px !important;
min-height: unset !important; /* v92.0 - for padding below 4px */
}
/* Bookmark and context menu spacing */
menupopup > menuitem, menupopup > menu {padding-block: 0px !important;
}
/* Options menu spacing */
:root {--arrowpanel-menuitem-padding: 0px 0px !important;
}

I also have a light-gray background for dropdown menus, bookmark folders, etc. Text is black, and the "active item" has a pale blue background with a "glowing blue" text. Very easy on the eyes, and selected items stand out nicely.
Looks like this:
Code: Select all
/* v92.0 Bookmarks Toolbar folder drop-downs background color light-gray*/
#PlacesToolbar {
--arrowpanel-color: black !important;
--arrowpanel-background: #eaeaea !important;
}
menupopup {
--panel-color: black !important;
--panel-background: #eaeaea !important;
}
/* Active menu item background pale-blue, text glowing-blue*/
menu[_moz-menuactive="true"], menuitem[_moz-menuactive="true"] {
background-color: #e8eefd !important;
color: #3d3dff !important;
}
Looks like this:

Wow! Thank you. I'll be working on this in the next few days, and will post back here.
Again, thanks!

Well, I did it, and tweaked all kinds of things. Thanks again; this is much appreciated!

With version 93.0, the bookmarks spacing is apparently fixed if you adopt compact mode (about:config then Customise Toolbar). Like you, I have css for spacing.

Re: Firefox 93 overpadding solved?
xanthon, I don't see Customize Toolbar in the about:config. There was something else I set there — I think it was "browser.compactmode.show" but setting it to true didn't change the dropdown menus. I *think* I restarted FF after I made that setting but, at this point, I can't quite remember.
Anyway, thanks for the tip.

Yes, it's a two-step process or set density directly in about:config. https://www.userchrome.org/firefox-89-s ... ompactmodeDiane Vigil wrote:xanthon, I don't see Customize Toolbar in the about:config.

Re: Firefox 93 overpadding solved?
Go to Customise Toolbar AFTER setting the preference to true. There is a button at the bottom to set density. It seems that not all bookmarks spacing is fixed. I don't know, I have had css for spacing since version 89.

Re: Firefox 93 overpadding solved?
Thanks. Interestingly, when I went to Customize Toolbar to set the density to Compact, it said "not supported".
At any rate, my userChrome.css is set up just as I want it.

Yes, that's what it says but I have always used compact density and, as far as I can tell, it's the same as it always has been. It became 'unsupported' recently.

Re: Firefox 93 overpadding solved?
Correct. Mozilla will no longer be testing changes against compact mode. You will probably receive little sympathy if you file a bug, either, when something breaks.xanthon wrote:It [compact mode] became 'unsupported' recently.
