Optimizing Firefox UI Space with Compact Toolbar

Do you want to minimize the user interface clutter within Firefox? The Compact Toolbar extension provides a solution by reducing the extra space surrounding and between toolbar buttons.

Regular Size Icons: Before and After

After installation, the primary choice involves selecting either regular or small-sized icons. The visual impact is significant, as demonstrated by the difference in space utilization before and after applying the extension.

Notice the condensation of vertical space, particularly when observing the “Menu Bar” in relation to the gray “divider bar” below it.

Small Size Icons: Before and After

Users who prefer smaller icons may question the extent of the difference they can achieve. The extension still delivers noticeable improvements even with this setting.

Similar to the regular-sized icons, both horizontal and vertical space are minimized. Comparing the “After Screenshot” to the “Before Screenshot” using regular icons clearly highlights the space-saving benefits.
