Menu spacing on Firefox 92.0
Doing a search for this change provides hundreds of topics and thousands of folks complaining about the added spaces between menu items and no real solution. I found one that entails making changes to the chrome file and proton, I tried this and it doesn't work for me and I shouldn't have to make changes to files in the first place. If anyone from the development team is listening, I know you had to satisfy those using touch screens, but how about making it easy for us to change the spacing a bit tighter. Many of us have lots of bookmarks and find we now have to scroll to find the ones at the bottom, then go to the top again to select "open in......". Could you add a simple toggle, "wide menu spacing or close menu spacing"? Anything that worked on version 89 or 90, does not work now. Please, this really is frustrating

Hi,
The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers. If you want to leave feedback for Firefox developers, you can go to the Firefox Help menu and select Submit Feedback... or use this link. Your feedback gets collected by a team of people who read it and gather data about the most common issues.
You can also file a bug report or feature request. See File a bug report or feature request for Mozilla products for details.
Thanks, I wasn't aware of that, but it was hard enough to find someplace to post something. I started with "get help" to get here. I followed the "feedback" link and see that they should be well aware if this issue, but I can't find anywhere that Mozilla says that they will or will not address it.
Anyway, if anyone here has a solution that works, it would be appreciated knowing about it.
In the current Firefox 92 release you can only reduce the menu spacing via userChrome.css. In the next Firefox 93 release (current Beta/DE) they have added support to reduce the menu spacing via "Density: Compact" on the Customize page.

AFAIK the menu spacing will be fixed in version 93 in a compact mode.
Thank you all for your responses. I have tried the chrome.css change and it didn't work. I will wait for version 93.0 to come out I don't like screwing around with file changes anyway.
Note that userChrome.css will be ignored unless you set the toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets pref -- see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1354234

Yes, that sometimes gets lost in the instructions or (in my case), get tacked on at the end as a reference back to a different set of steps: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1346577#answer-1435049
