Hi,

Compact mode is not currently supported starting from Firefox 89. However, if you've been using compact mode before Firefox 89, you should be able to retain the feature. For the recommended and supported experience, we encourage you to keep the normal density setting.

If you are an advanced user, it's still possible to activate it in the Configuration Editor (about:config page).

  1. Type about:config in the address bar and press EnterReturn.
    A warning page may appear. Click Accept the Risk and Continue to go to the about:config page.
  2. Find the browser.compactmode.show preference.
  3. Switch the toggle to true and then close the tab.
  4. Click the menu button Fx89menuButton to open the menu panel.
  5. Click More Tools.
  6. Choose Customize Toolbar.
  7. At the bottom of the panel, click Density.
  8. Choose Compact (not supported) from the menu options.
  9. Click Done.
