A fresh new Firefox redesign is here

I'd like to cast one vote for... YUCCKK !!
But then again, I've voted that way since about Firefox 45 or so.

Hate that all the text in menus now takes up more vertical space. Menus that did not scroll now do.

Any way to change row height of menus without changing the font size?

In about:config...
Set browser.proton.contextmenus.enabled ..false (bookmarks spacing)

I'm going to uninstall the Mozilla Maintenance Service. So tired of having 'new nonsense'. My bad for having installed it in the first place.

That doesn't help. I've been doing that since it first appeared.

Whut? Oh no...

But surely Firefox will stop its 'update' popups?

I have unchecked "Install maintenance service" forever. It may stop the popups (I don't see those), but it doesn't stop the automatic updates themselves.

Easiest way I've found to stop the auto updates is to use this.
Just unzip and drop this "distribution" folder into...
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox

distribution.7z


This is what is IN the "distribution" folder...



...and this is what's in the policies.json file:

Code:

{
	"policies": {
		"AppUpdateURL": "http://127.0.0.1/",
		"DisableAppUpdate": true,
		"DisableFirefoxStudies": true,
		"DisableSystemAddonUpdate": true,
		"DisableTelemetry": true,
		"ExtensionUpdate": false
	}
}

This is how you know it worked...
...it will have this "disabled by your system administrator" message, in Help > About




And then every time you manually update, it erases this folder. So save a copy on a storage drive somewhere.




You can always find the Firefox manual installer, here...
