Compact mode workaround in Firefox


Article Images

Compact mode is not currently supported. For the recommended and supported experience, we encourage you to keep the normal density setting.

Starting with Firefox version 89, the compact mode density option was removed from the Customize panel but you can still activate it in the Configuration Editor (about:config page).

Warning: Changing advanced preferences can affect Firefox's stability and security. This is recommended for advanced users only.
