Firefox 89 [View all]

The latest Firefox update to Version 89 introduces a redesigned user interface. I'm finding a couple of small annoyances, in particular, the leading (line spacing) of text in the menus has been greatly increased, I suppose to cater for stumpy fingers on tablets and phones.

To return to a semblance of normalcy do the following:

1. Type - 'about:config' in the address bar (no quotes)
2. Click 'show all'
3. Paste the following into search box: browser.proton.contextmenus.enabled
4. Change True to false

This is a workaround. There may be a better solution by editing CSS. I'll keep looking.
