Amusingly, it seems neither you nor the grandparent comment have the interface set to `compact`.

True. I didn't know that that setting exists. That could be part of the problem, ofcourse.

Ah, well, when you Google for "smaller firefox [interface/menus]" you just get results like:

"How to make the menus in Firefox larger" (no thanks)

"How to install a compact theme in Firefox" (which doesn't really help)

Thanks though! Between your response and notes on how much more responsive the new FF is, I'll give it yet another shot. :)
