As you can see, the tab bar is huge in FF96.0.2 than in FF96. I've enabled browser.compactmode.show to true in both versions. Is there a way to fix this? A about:config or CSS code? Thanks.

I tried to style the scroll buttons in the tab toolbar.
However it does not work. This is what I tried:

  :root[uidensity=compact] #scrollbutton-up {
    margin: 0px -1px 0px -1px !important; 
  }
  :root[uidensity=compact] #scrollbutton-down {
    margin: 0px -1px 0px -1px !important; 
  }

What's wrong? Does anyone know how to fix it?
Thank you.

The other day I was sitting there and I was thinking that I wished there was a medium that sounded better than vinyl but was less of a pain that wasn't streaming since I like to collect things.. then it hit me. CD's. I mean.. I feel like CD's are the lost middle child that get no love. What did I do? I went to my record store and bought some CD's only get get home and realize I had no way of playing them. So, I ripped them and am waiting for a CD transport to come in.

All jokes aside I think in the next few years CD's are going to make a come back. They are cheaper than vinyl and sound better. Yes, they don't have the same collectability so that may hurt. The average vinyl I buy is like $25-$30 but the CD average is $10-15. I feel like I am more willing to take a risk and try listening to a band that I may have never heard of before or am just into a bit. This doesn't account for the massive amount of used cheap CD's there are out there. Maybe I am crazy but I feel like within the last few years the price of vinyl keeps going up and up.

Mozzila Mozilla is removing the compact density option because it's "hard to discover" and they ASSUME "it gets low engagement".

The new design uses much vertical space and and thus decreases available space for the actual webpage. And personally, I find the design ugly.

If they think that compact mode is hard to discover, then they should probably make it easier to discover. Or maybe just leave it as is, instead of ASSUMING that no on one uses it.

I don't see any benefit on removing existing code.

Props to u/nextbern for pointing out that FF contributors have been working on this issue. Since then, it appears that more progress has been made.

Thank you guys. I hope your recommendations are adopted.

Here's proof on video: Introducing the Amazing Compact Disc (1982)

TLDW: skip to 2:55 for the lie.

I also remember the lie that they were going to be cheaper than cassettes. Then they came out & were more expensive, and the new lie was that the price would go down when they were more popular. Then they became ridiculously expensive, and record stores would use the excuse that they were "imports". Then Napster came along, and they totally deserved it.

All right- title is half joking, but also a heads up to younger people.

I’m on my last week of my 30’s, so I did grow up with CD, MD, DAT, cassette tape, vinyl. I missed 8-track by just a bit.

I haven’t bought a CD in about 10 years- mostly just purchasing compressed shit and glorious vinyl.

Been listening to so much streaming music, that I actually forgot how good CDs sound.

And fuck, do they sound good. Like- really, really good.

It’s weird how music consumption is so popular again, yet the fidelity is below the average level of the early 00’s, with regards to what most people listen to. That’d be like if in the 80’s, people listened to worse quality than the 60’s. It’s really weird… But I suppose the early 128kbps mp3 days showed that the song will always shine, basically no matter what.

Aaanyway— Just wanna give a shoutout to CDs- the only format to ever be in the intersection of the Venn diagram for “highly popular” and “high quality”.

To older people: If you haven’t listened to your stockpile of CDs from back in the day, I highly recommend checking it out again. It will give some reminders on why you even started this shit.

To younger people: I highly recommend listening to CDs, especially if you’ve never had the opportunity. Use your parents’ stereo or whatever and check it out.

To everyone: May good sound be with you… always.

Proton theme with Firefox 89 :

I overall like it, the redesign is awesome. However, below are 3 requests I want to make:

• I hope they make the UI density more compact, since 'Normal' actually bigger in proportions that gives less space to the actual webpage.
• Optionally bring back the iconography in the hamburger menu, let users choose!
• The Proton UI redesign is only a layer deep, other UI surfaces like: 'History > manage history' and 'Bookmarks > manage bookmarks' can also benefit from the UI overhaul that is overdue on these 2 menus. I hate the fact, that they open in a separate window. History and Bookmarks should be allowed to open in a tab.

I don’t know about records. Were they easy to “skip tracks?” They certainly weren’t portable or even in cars (right?).

Cassettes were not as easy to skip tracks. Not that you often would with DT. But sometimes you just have to check out that specific part of one song that someone brings up and it’s easier to do with CD.

Records offer the best album art canvas. Cassettes the worst. Well DT has decent but not even very good album art.

Here is the the problem with streaming and the benefit of CDs: a cd purchase is a bit of an investment in the album. It is yours “forever.” But you can only buy a handful at a time. Not endless options like streaming. It causes you to listen over and over. It is way too easy to give up and move on and potentially endlessly search with streaming or get stuck with catchy and never uncover the deep and complex.

Streaming is great for T Swift and Adele. Prog and even metal takes commitment. Advantage:CD

Sometimes I wish I was stocky 5'6 so I can learn a compact powerful form and then return to my original build (6'3 180). I'm plateauing a bit right now around 375-400 max (besides the "griplock" bombs I posted about a while ago) and I'm still looking for the sauce. I feel like I can hit 375-400 in spite of my form, not because of it. I'm tall, athletic, and I have thrown a lot of frisbees in my day. I can make a disc move. But I'm still feeling clumsy and inconsistent. I know some would love to hit 400, but I feel disappointed by it. First-world problems? I just know there's more in the tank that I'm not using consistently and its frustrating. I often feel like I have too much moving at once, I'm not compact enough, and I'm not consistently using my long-levered "advantage". I have a theory that tall lanky folk have more room for error because of the space our motion takes up. Maybe I'm just making up an excuse :-). Either way, I'm in form rebuild mode currently and my head is spinning.

Tall lanky disc golfers, what are some things you have discovered about being tall and lanky throwin discs? If anything, is there anything you've done to fix/improve/take advantage of your lanky-limbed Gumby motion?

I don't think firefox will become top browser even if it becomes better than chrome in most aspects given the advertisement potential of chrome, and preinstallment advantage that edge and safari get on desktop OSs. I don't have much reach in social media, but I will try to advertise firefox's features wherever it seems reasonable, as it seems its really important to advertise novel features to actually gain and even retain users. Hopefully mozilla diverts some funds in this direction too.

One interesting feature that I am very excited about is ECH. Hopefully it is finalised and its settings are exposed a little better soon enough. I still think removing ESNI was a bad idea though. To enable it in nightly (I am unsure about beta and stable) set network.dns.echconfig.enabled to true and network.dns.use_https_rr_as_altsvc to true. The server too needs to support ECH. Will work for most sites hosted through cloudfare

Si, Dee. See deez seedy CDs.

I've been hearing things all over the Internet that Firefox is doing away with Compact Density as an option, is this true?

I really hope that this isn't true because I've been using Compact Density for a long time now because I prefer to get all the web space I can get.

If this is true, and I really hope not, will there be a about:config way to get Compact Density back? If not, will there be a userChrome.css or userContent.css way to get the option back? Thanks.

So it looks like the Proton redesign scheduled for Firefox 89 will see the removal of the compact density option.

Here's a side-by-side comparison of current compact, current normal, and Proton normal density options: https://i.imgur.com/bHXISJT.png

It's still early days, but have any of UI customisation wizards here found a way to reduce the monstrous size of the tab and address bars in the new design?

Like any other early 2000s game, that's why I can't find the right one

In FF89.0, I set browser.compactmode.show to true to enable Compact Density, but it seems that the FF93.0 update has broken it.

Before the update to FF93.0:

After updating to FF93.0:

Is there a way to fix this? This not good for my eyes, the main menu and the Bookmarks menu are too compact. Is there a CSS way to fix this?
