| I remember reading about the end of "compact" mode some weeks/months ago. With this update, it seems that change is finally here... Almost. Downloading the nightly build, some investigation reveals the ability to reduce the space stolen by the user interface for pointless margins is hidden in about:config and can be found by searching there for "density." Nonsensically, the browser.uidensity field allows values 0, 1, and 2, but: * 0 has some useless UI margin space * 1 has less useless UI margin space * 2 has more useless UI margin space What?? I guess incremental values were always supposed to go middle, low, high and I am just a crank. All three options waste more vertical space with useless UI margins than the current version of Firefox. Designers have decided that their user interface is more important than the content it enables, and therefore we all must have more useless UI margin space. Edit: Upon further investigation, browser.compactmode.show can be set to true and restore the feature on the customize toolbar page. For now. With the scary parenthetical warning "not supported." |
