FF57: bookmark icon spacing

Hello, kudos to the Mozilla FF Team, v57 is fast although significant improvements over prior versions were visible since v56 already.

A quick way I use to open frequently used sites is to display bookmarks as icons on the bookmark toolbar, along side which I have a search bar with selectable search engine. With FF57 the spacing in between bookmark icons has increased taking up far more real estate, as a result the width of the search bar has shrinked to a point it is quite inconvenient to use as only 20-30 characters of a search string are displayed (see attached image)

Is there a way to reduce the spacing between icons on the bookmark toolbar?

I know I could use folders to group icons but I think that even an extra click to get to the bookmark I need would defeat the purpose of using a bookmark toolbar

Thanks in advance Sergio

I found that setting Density to "Compact" in the Customize page allows to gain some real estate back, although not to the extent I use to have prior FF57
