Menu Spacing

more options

Browser just updated to 91, now menu spacing (dropdown, right click, application menu etc) is far too large. Bookmarks menu dropdown is taller than the screen & requires scrolling to get to the bottom. I'm visually impaired & already use a magnifier app; all this extra spacing just makes functionality more difficult & time consuming.

Please revert the spacing to how it was before, or at least give users the option to customize. It's shameful to think FIrefox & Mozilla would make such changes without taking into consideration those of us with visual impairments. Discrimination against the disabled isn't exactly looked upon kindly.

In Firefox 91+ you can no longer disable Proton and revert changes that come with this design via "browser.proton.enabled = false" on the about:config page. Best in Firefox 91+ is to set browser.proton.enabled at its default value true as the false setting can cause issues.

In Firefox 91+ you need to use code in userChrome.css to override changes coming with the Proton design.


You can use code in userChrome.css to modify the menu spacing.

Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.


@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

menupopup > menuitem, menupopup > menu {padding-block: 0px !important;}
*|*:root {--arrowpanel-menuitem-padding: 0px 8px !important;}

Each person will have their own preference, but 0px would be very tight on Windows. You can see the results of different px values for padding-block in the attached composite screenshot.
