Why is Firefox so big?

I recently switched from Vivaldi to Firefox bc chromium. I’ve since realized that the tabs, address bar, and bookmarks bar are like twice the size of other browsers. I’ve tried a couple Firefox based browsers and they all do the same. How can I make Firefox a normal size so I can actually see what I’m doing?

Edit: found out how to restore the old compact option. Search about:config in the address bar, then search “compact” and enable “browser.compactmode.show”, then right-click a toolbar element, select “customize toolbar”, and select compact from the density menu.

Set it how you like it.

The only options in density are default and touch, which is even bigger.

Do you not see Compact as an option?

Because it is being phased out.
