Step 2: Enable Compact Mode

  • In the search bar on the about:config page, type browser.compactmode.show.
  • Locate the browser.compactmode.show preference in the list of results.
  • Double-click on the Value column for this preference to change it from false to true.

Step 3: Customize Your Toolbar

  • Click on the Hamburger Menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top-right corner of Firefox.
  • From the dropdown menu, select More tools, and then choose Customize toolbar.

Step 4: Optimize Display Density

  • At the bottom of the customization page, you'll find an option labeled Density.
  • Click on Density and select Compact from the dropdown menu.

By following these steps, you'll transform your Firefox interface into a more compact and efficient layout, perfect for maximizing screen space and enhancing your browsing workflow. Enjoy a cleaner and more streamlined Firefox experience with compact mode!
