Firefox Support Forum

Good afternoon. My Firefox has been updated to the new version but I noticed that the font size in my bookmarks dropdown menu has increased. I would prefer to make it smaller as it used to all fit in one column without the need to scroll. Could someone tell me how, or if this can be done with the new version? Thanks and hope to hear back soon.

I REALLY dislike the new bookmark pull-down feature, which has larger fonts and far too much space between bookmarks. Now I have to scroll (for which I can't use the mouse) to get to the bottom of a long bookmark list. I prefer older versions.

How may I change the appearance of this feature?

The menu (Bokmarks )has become too large a distance between the lines. Now the menus are getting way too long. Hard to read links and hard to find! Why this completely idiotic design change?

The change in the appearance of the tabs is also strange!

Is it possible to change back to the usual menu line spacing ???

Good day,

It would appear that there was an update in the past 24hrs because my tabs appear different (rounder). However, now my bookmarks drop-down menu is all different and messed-up, and I can't delete the things added. Please see the screenshot enclosed...

I now have "Manage Bookmarks" at the top - which is fine. I have "Other Bookmarks" - which I thought I killed a LONG time ago. I have an ADDITIONAL "Manage Bookmarks" at the bottom - which seems redundant, and excessive.

I've done my homework, tried tinkering with old solutions. I cannot delete, move, rename, hide or change any of these. I would ideally like to remove everything except the 1st "Manage Bookmarks" at the top. That seems reasonable.

Thanks for your time and help! William (FF89)

All of a sudden, my bookmarks ( and other bookmarks) are double spaced. This just happened today and I didn't make any changes. How do I get rid of the double spacing ? Thank you.

Firefox 89.0 update has doubled the row space between bookmark folders and bookmarks. A previous thread suggested using about:config, browser.proton.contextmenus.enabled but that has not fixed/changed anything. The additional spacing between rows adds nothing, improves nothing and slows down selection of bookmarks. Hopefully this will be fixed.

One of the big advantages with Fx compared to other web browsers is the bookmark feature: separators.

This feature helps to organise bookmarks and make menus easier to navigate, especially for power users like me who build big bookmark libraries.

One problem though, there seems to be no support for syncing separators! Am I correct or is something wrong in my setup?

The bookmarks sync fine but separators are lost between computers.

If there is no support for syncing separators is there a plan to fix this? Meanwhile, is there a workaround?

P.S. A great way of using separators is to make titles in menus by using capital letters with separators around them.

Example: ________ [Separator] BOOKS [Folder] ________ [Separator]

"1984" by George Orwell [Bookmark] "Fiesta" by Ernest Hemingway [Bookmark]

I specifically said "LATER" to a button that said I could switch to the new browser format -- but the OLD FORMAT is changed on my browser !!!!

One of the changes is that the lines in any of the drop downs from any of my tool bar choices are now ALL DOUBLE SPACED - they used to be single spaced. This is HORRIBLE, it is so unpleasant to work with!

Is there ANY , please ANY, way to change these back to the old single space layout ? I have a lot of lines in my drop downs and now I have to scroll and scroll and scroll !!!!

Thank you for any assistance !!!

Since the latest update (to 89.0) my bookmark list literally exploded vertically. Before update the list took a bit more than half the screen size. Somehow the spacing inbetween the entries is now doubled (at least) and the list takes the entire screen and more (the last 4-5 i need to scroll for).

I found no option to adapt the grade of spacing and would like to have it reduced. Since the font size didnt change, there is no reason to expand the list that far. I might be 40+, but still could read as it was before. Whoever had this glorious idea was either bored or paid to annoy the users.

Screenshot attached (have no from before, sadly).

I hate that this June Firefox update has double or triple spaced my Bookmarks drop-down menu. I had just the right amount of folders and links that could expand to the bottom of the screen and now it goes well off the bottom of the screen and requires scrolling back up and down to use the links I use for the office on the 24" screen. Worse, my Firefox syncs with my laptop at home so on that 15" screen its even an even worse problem. I can't find a way to close them all up the way they used to be. There was nothing wrong with the browser as it was. If anyone wanted a new look, they could select different themes rather than force this arbitrary update on all of us.

The latest version has been loaded onto my PC. The list of bookmarks, in the drop down menu, has increased in the spacing between the lines. Now my bookmarks list goes off the bottom of the screen, whereas before my bookmarks were all visible. Is there a simple way of reducing the gap between the lines, the font size is OK.

Since the new fancy mozilla update, bookmarks in folders take up 2 if not 3 times as much space, making navigation in folders unnecessarily time consuming, since now you have to scroll to access bookmarks, whereas before you would have them all in one click of the folder. Any way to fix this?

Unable to see or use comments in YouTube since the latest update, I did a system restore on my computer back to June 2nd. At some point, I moved a new folder entitled something like "old Firefox" into the trash that appeared on my desktop. I've cleared my computer trash bin since then, thinking that doing so didn't delete the actual file. I have no idea where that would be :-(

Now I don't have any bookmarks! Since I only have one profile, it seems I should be able to get whatever bookmarks Firefox has saved for me, but I can't see any way of doing that. HELP, PLEASE!

I have been a loyal Firefox user for umpteen years – but no more! Without asking, my browser updated to version 89, and immediately, I didn’t like it. It looked washed out, difficult to tell the difference between tabs (I routinely have 30+ tabs open at once), plus it was slower. The biggest “peeve” was when I tried to enter a Google search question in the “Search” box, but Firefox kept jumping up the URL bar. Gawd I hate that! That did it! I decided to revert back to version 88 but you decided you would “punish” me for my decision. I lost all my bookmarks, passwords and preferences. I am a computer support volunteer and I work primarily with senior citizens, however I try to help anyone who needs my help. When I setup a new computer for a client, I usually install Firefox and Chrome, explaining that many people do not like the default browser that comes with Windows. From this point on, I will no longer recommend nor install Firefox. You lost a customer today. Congratulations.

I was really angry that there seems to be no way to actually send an email "TO" Mozilla. Instead, they depend on you volunteers to take the heat for them. If you know of anyway to actually get this information to them, I would appreciate it.

I just re-downloaded Firefox to my laptop. Every other time I've done that, it repopulates with all my bookmarks and history. I know they're still there because I can turn around and see them on my desktop. How do I move them to my laptop?

Could it be the latest upgrade?

I have a folder of bookmarks on my bookmarks bar. Previously when I expanded the folder, I could see all of the bookmarks on my screen, with a good bit of room left on the bottom.

After updating to Firefox 89 (Windows), the font size is so large that when I open the folder, the bookmarks are cut off on the bottom. There's now a scroll arrow so I can see them all.

How do I get the font smaller again so they once again all fit on my screen? I'd like to avoid changing any other font size or zoom settings other than bookmarks.

Thank you!

With the new version 89 the row height for bookmarks is way too big and now I am scrolling all over the place. I had them all perfectly spaced to show all in my full screen without scrolling. Is there an adjustment where I can go back to the previous narrower height?
