Browser upgrades continue apace - Firefox 89

Firefox 89. They eliminated 'density' as an adjustable feature. Tabs are taller, and fixed. Same for Bookmark height, and I think address bar too.

I did manage to eliminate the title bar at the top of the browser. That gained about 3/16".

Not sure why expanding the size of these things to take up more real estate and require more time accessing in an era of smart phone screens is a good idea.

I use Linux, and I think some of the major browsers are not compatible, but I do have Chromium installed, the Chrome-based browser for OS other than Chrome. I guess I have to give it more of a look-see.

at the top?

I've googled and can not find any straightforward way to change it. Let me know, please if anyone does. For some reason, it is giving me a headache the way it is.
