Tabs squished together in tab bar - cannot see tabs

Today, I opened FF and found that I cannot see my unpinned tabs. They seem squished together (see image). I tried restarting FF (108.0) & my computer (running on Pop!OS 22.04, Gnome 42.5), but that didn't help. Tried disabling my Gnome extensions, didn't help. Tried changing FF theme, didn't help. Any help much appreciated! Thank you!

Did you try Firefox in Safe Mode? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode#search104

Try downloading Firefox from Mozilla. Download, unzip, and run firefox-bin from the folder and see if you have the same issue. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release

Are you in X11 or Wayland?

Did you place other elements on the Tab bar ?

You can try to click Restore Defaults in the Customize palette window to restore the default toolbar set.

Thank you so much for your responses! It looked fine in safe mode, and then I realised that I had customised user.js file using a Lepton fix after the Proton update. Removing that worked! Thanks again for your help!
