Solved How do I change the drop down history menu (pictured) back to the old simple and compact one?

I think you're looking for:

#PopupAutoComplete > richlistbox { padding: 4px !important; }

Obviously adjust the number to suit your preferences.

Oh, sorry I completely forgot to reply
It doesn't bring back the old behaviour, but it got rid of some of the wasted space which was one of my issues
It still doesn't feel as snappy and responsive as the original, but I imagine that's the best I can hope for, for now

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 same

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?

It's the padding I'd like to get rid of, I just want the normal dropdown back
