Just updated to Firefox 92.0. I use a Windows high-contrast style as my eyesight is not good, and the 92.0 update has trashed this style. I am having a terrible time viewing... anything... in Firefox. I either need to revert to the previous version or make changes to Firefox preferences, if possible; to restore the high-contrast scheme.

Also noticed that changes were made to the drop-down bookmarks toolbar... the spacing between entries has now doubled, so now only half the bookmarks appear at a time. The previous spacing was not a problem. Again, is there a way to change it back?

You can check the color settings in "*Settings -> General", you may have to switch the override to 'Always'. You can place a tick on 'Use system colors' to see if that works better.

  • Settings -> General: Fonts & Colors -> Colors: "Override the colors specified by the page with your selections above"
