remove window border via Customize Toolbar... > uncheck the Title Bar box
enable compact design > in about:config set browser.compactmode.show to true then via/in Customize Toolbar... panel in the Density dropdown select compact (not supported)
scale down the UI text via about:config and setting ui.textScaleFactor to a higher value like 120 (100 default)

Hope one of these helps.

First of all, thank you for taking the time to respond. I have searched settings and customize toolbar for these things and they do not show up. My customize toolbar page just has an area on the right to drag and drop things too.

Can you please tell me where to locate these items other than where I have searched in settings and customize tool bar. It is highly likely I am retarded and doing it wrong lol.

[X] Title Bar, [Toolbars], [Density] are at the bottom left of the "Customize Toolbar" panel. as seen on this image: https://user-media-prod-cdn.itsre-sumo.mozilla.net/uploads/gallery/images/2021-08-24-14-27-33-7ceddb.png
