Message pane header in 115.4.1 (64-bit) version

In inbox preview messages are too dense, options for changing density are not precise enough. It's clear that goal was to get more view. At the same time message pane header is huge with only three information: From, To and Subject. So, you need tweezer to click on message you want to open and in the same view there is a "football" field with no significant usage.

In the 115.4.1 (64-bit) version, the inbox preview messages in the fc mobile game are too dense, and the options for changing density lack precision. It seems that the goal was to provide a larger view, but this may not align with user preferences. Additionally, the message pane header appears oversized with only three information fields (From, To, and Subject), making it necessary to use a tweezer to click on the desired message. Furthermore, there is a "football" field in the same view that seems to have no significant usage. These issues should be addressed to improve the user experience.

Please advise me on what to do.

Messages are excessively dense in the inbox preview, and there aren't enough exact options to adjust the density. It's obvious that obtaining more views was the aim. There are only three pieces of information on the massive message window header at the same time: From, To, and Subject. Therefore, you must use tweezer to click on the message you wish to open.

Warm regards!

I completely agree the imbalance between the dense message list and the oversized message pane header makes navigation frustrating. A more customizable density setting and a more compact header design would make the interface far more user-friendly. It feels like wasted space that could be better utilized for actual message content. Hopefully, the developers take note and provide more refined options in future updates.

Hello Mozilla Community,

You're absolutely right—while the inbox preview is overly dense and lacks fine control over message density, the message pane header is unnecessarily oversized, displaying minimal info in a massive space. It’s frustrating trying to click the exact message with such tight spacing below and wasted space above. For a better user experience, efficiency and precision should go hand-in-hand. Just like how we want clean, user-friendly interfaces in our email apps, the same applies to entertainment—if you're looking for a smooth, clutter-free way to stream sports and shows, check out Sportzfy, a free streaming app that actually respects your screen space and your time.
