I've just upgraded Firefox to version 51 and the drop down list of the URL bar suddenly became so HUGE that it takes two thirds of the window - both the font is large and spacing between the items is HUGE. I am not blind!!! How on Earth can I reduce the drop down list size to normal? The font size should be EXACTLY the same font as in the URL bar and the item height should be EXACTLY the same as in the URL bar. Now it's twice as much. I've tried Classic Theme Restorer with no luck, neither userChrome.css scripts found on this forum worked. I understand that there are visually impaired people who need large fonts, but they need large fonts everywhere, not just in the drop down list! Why is it different? The font size and spacing should be exactly the same as in the history pane.

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 */

.ac-title-text{font-size: 14px!important}
.ac-url-text  {font-size: 14px!important}

/* urlbar - border */
.autocomplete-richlistitem {padding-top:2px!important; padding-bottom:2px!important}
.autocomplete-richlistitem:not(:first-child) {border-top:1px solid #ddd!important}
.autocomplete-richlistitem[selected="true"] {border-top-color:transparent!important}

/* Constrain drop-down width */
#PopupAutoCompleteRichResult {max-width: 900px !important; margin-left: 0 !important;}

The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.
