With windows 8.1 the font size in bookmarks drop down is larger than in vista.

Is there a way to reduce font size. I would like to display more sites in the drop down.

In 8.1 the amount of contacts in the list has decreased about a third over vista.

Go to Help=>Troubleshooting Information=>click on the "Open Containing Folder" button=>enter the chrome folder=>make a copy of userChrome-example and rename it to userChrome(or just rename the original).Double click on the file and delete everything from inside and paste this code

You need to insert the @namespace at the top if you delete everything to avoid namespace problems.

   @namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
   #personal-bookmarks toolbarbutton.bookmark-item {font-size: 12px !important;}
   #personal-bookmarks menuitem.bookmark-item {font-size: 12px !important;}

You can experiment with the font sizes to see what best suits you. Make sure that you add the 'px' unit after the number without any separated spaces: 10px

The chrome folder and the userChrome.css file were removed from Firefox many, many versions ago, like Firefox 5 or so. My advice is to install the ChromEdit Plus extension if you want to work with the 3 "user" files.

Those three files are automatically created in the correct location, and can be accessed from within Firefox via a Menu item or with a toolbar button which will be sitting in the Customize palette.
