I'm running Firefox Quantum, 64.0.2 on Windows.
I would like to increase the spacing between the entries in the drop down menus underneath File/Edit/History/Bookmarks/Tools/Help on Firefox. The entries all look too bunched together to me.
I've looked around Firefox/Mozilla message boards and found a few similar requests from over the last few years, but haven't had any success trying the posted CSS suggestions. I tired the addon Theme Font and Size Changer (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/theme-font-size-changer/?src=search) but it no longer seems to work.
I'd love to have a new CSS written, one that I could easily tweak, but am unable to write it myself.
Is there someone who may be able to help?
Thanks,
Eric

i am going to describe this problem completely but i am few week in English so please ignore mistakes!
i use blank page a lot and i always use short key (control + r) to reload the page but i have noticed that when i open a blank page (about:blank). the page reload icon change it's color and the URL bar is become empty the link is gone and now you can not use refresh button but control + r works perfect.
I think this is a problem and it should be fix. and this is not in other browsers.
in image the page reload button in working condition.

I want to use Firefox, like Firefox, and enjoy it. I go back to the days of Mosaic and Netscape then moved on to Firefox. But, Firefox has been making my life more and more difficult with each "update."
First, why is there no sticky zoom for all sites that will stay put where I decide? I have to find an add-on to do that.
Second, why do you prevent Grammarly add-on from working on New York Times pages? Even as I write right now, I discovered that it does not work here either?
Third, why do you block Evernote page clipper from saving selections, or even coming up to offer me choices to save different parts of a page?
Fourth, what happened to most of the add-ons? They are either not available anymore or their functionality is crippled.
What is the reason for putting this much obstacle in front of users, security? You will reach 100% security when users switch to other browsers. A browser not used cannot cause any harm.
Whatever your reason or excuse, please come to your senses and realize once more that the essence of what you offer is user satisfaction, not Fort Knox!
As for me, I switched to Chrome, once more, and will very reluctantly come back to Firefox unless you allow me to browse the Internet the way I want, not the way you want.
I wish you well, but I am very uncomfortable using Firefox despite my use of your lineage going all the way back to Mosaic. Please also understand that I am writing these comments in the hopes of pulling you back on track of offering user satisfaction.
Be well! But, farewell Firefox!

Method to change site text color only if current background / foreground contrast is below certain value

I find a lot of sites that use text color from fairly light to medium gray, on white or light gray background which doesn't show up well. Some have so little contrast, it's like they're ashamed of the content.
The problem I expect from using a blanket statement in userContent.css, even if it mostly worked, is there will be some background colors that won't contrast well with black text; trading one problem for another.
If I try to set all backgrounds one color & all body or paragraph text to another, there will be other elements on pages that won't show up. One example - in Preferences / Colors, when "Override the colors specified by the page with your selections above - Always" is checked, it makes addon's UIs totally unreadable. Clearly, that won't work for pages with elements besides text. Elements on some sites just disappear. I'm not sure what type of sites today would work using override all colors with black & white or where any 2 fixed colors would work on most sites.
Is there a way to detect when sites use background / foreground colors with contrast below a certain value and only then change text to black? That would assume the background was a light color. If a dark background was detected, light text would be needed. It may be that sites have so many different types of elements / graphics, something like this would be impossible.

I can't find "sims" under Options - General - Applications. I'm wondering if there's a way to add it there or how can I get it there? I want to download purchased content from The Sims 3 Store and I found a post that someone achieved it through Firefox, but now "sims" isn't under Applications and so I can't download the purchased content. Can someone please help me solve this?

I used to have my Linksys WRT router flashed with ExpressVPN to cover all my devices and segregate devices, but it became a PITA with Hulu and Netflix changing their connection methods constantly. I know I can flash to DD-WRT or OpenWRT and use another VPN service, but I really just want a VPN connection on my laptop.
I did use ProtonVPN, installed their client on my Windows 10 laptop, but again... just another point of failure.
Rather than pay $3 to $10 a month for a VPN service for 1 minimal device, I figure I can just use a FireFox add-on; as long as it’s legit and not feeding my habits to Google or Facebook (as their iOS app has done).
So... what add-on is recommended for FireFox?

When I exit Firefox, restart it, and attempt to save file / page, Firefox offers to save it to a download directory that is different than the one specified under options.
I have confirmed numerous times that the proper download directory is specified in the Options.
Of course, after correcting the download directory, everything is saved to the proper location until the next restart.
I would appreciate any suggestions. I am not certain that I want to take the chance of refreshing the browser.

I modified the page setup settings in the printer window by changing the all of the print labels section to [blank] and changed the page margins for top, bottom, left, and right to 0.25" for all of them. After clicking OK to save the settings, the print preview was blank. I click on the Page Setup again, and Firebox freezes. The only way to advance is to open Task Manager, and End Task. Please advise.
