subject: After update to Firefox 88 we got fat toolbar, fat tabs, fat menu, fat spaces between icons (compare screenshots with FF 87...88) in attach! Why did you do that? WHY? Why don't realize that there are many people sit with laptop/notebooks with screens HD 1366 * 768 new thick menus and tabs look terribly, half the content slides down, a third of the screen takes your non-sense fatty tabs and spaces!

Here's a new option for extra-compact toolbars (again using userChrome.css):

There is no official feature to remove the extra space above and below the tab buttons in Firefox 89 to slim the bar.

If you're looking for a community-supported workaround, you can apply the change by creating a userChrome.css file with the necessary style rules. More information:
