Ok Ghot ......added Chrome.7z v4.0.0 ...unziped of course .. and everything is working fine . No display issues.
made the needed changes in FF's about:config.
First things first... stop Firefox from automatically updating.
Simply unzip and drop this "distribution" folder into...C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
After manually updating Firefox this folder will be erased, so save a copy somewhere safe... for re-use.
distribution.7z
Now... for those who want the yesteryear Firefox or something in between, we have solutions...
The first step would be a few about:config edits.
toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets = True <--- Tells Firefox to read a file we will add.
svg.context-properties.content.enabled = False <---- also needed
browser.proton.contextmenus.enabled = False (bookmarks spacing) <---- (might want to play around with this)
browser.proton.enabled = True <--- (since FF 91.0)
browser.proton.places-tooltip.enabled = False
[browser.proton.toolbar.version = 3
browser.aboutwelcome.design = False
reader.parse-on-load.enabled = False (removes little blue page icon at right end of address bar)
browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar = False <---- New tab search stays as a search (doesn't redirect to address bar)
And these are just old about:config settings, from long before FF 89
Set all to False...
browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser
browser.urlbar.openViewOnFocus
browser.urlbar.update1
browser.urlbar.update1.interventions
browser.urlbar.update1.searchTips
browser.urlbar.update1.view.stripHttps
Close Firefox and put this Chrome folder (unzipped ofc), in...
Chrome.7z <---- v4.0.0
C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxx.default-release
Then restart Firefox.
Any other adjustments to the looks of Firefox were done via Settings or the Customize page.

Firefox v91 was the last straw for me with the very annoying bookmark spacings. I've now gone over to Waterfox which is really the Firefox of old. I imported my bookmarks via json from Firefox (HTML seemed to leave out the Toolbar Bookmarks) and I'm now one happy chappy!
New Firefox released today. Version 96.0.2, first offered to Release channel users on January 20, 2022
Fixed an issue that caused tab height to display inconsistently on Linux when audio was played
Fixed an issue that caused Lastpass dropdowns to appear blank in Private Browsing mode
Fixed a crash encountered when resizing a Facebook app
On mine...when I did the 96.0.2 upgrade...it messed up my TABS a little.
It made the active tab a teeny bit too tall.
I changed this in userChrome.css to allow more room for that larger TAB.
Doing so made ALL the TABS a bit larger... with the necessary room.
I removed the (/* ) from the line with the RED dot.
