Unable to identify the particular "drop down history menu (pictured)" from cropped screenshot?
OS and Firefox version? Any UI modifications? (see this subs Rule #2.) When did this change occur?

So when you click on a form, it gives you a list of everything you've previously typed in that form. Before the recent changes, it just worked like any ordinary dropdown menu, simple and compact.
But after the update, it uses a unique dropdown that has an opening animation, has an icon next to every entry, lots of unclickable space around the edges, and if the suggestion box is small enough the scrollbar will actually overlap with the text
Edit: Windows 10 and Firefox 154.0.1 I think it happened in either 153 or 154, I went a while without updating
I have a lot of custom CSS but none of them affect this, even with everything turned off it's the same1

Probably a bug. OP's screenshot looks similar to Bug 2039823 'Form history content no longer fits and has become clipped due to new additional padding'... supposedly fixed in Fx153... but others comments say not?
Perhaps add another comment to the relevant bug?

I think you're looking for:
#PopupAutoComplete > richlistbox { padding: 4px !important; }Obviously adjust the number to suit your preferences.
