User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:93.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/93.0
Steps to reproduce:
Open a bookmark folder that contains a lot of bookmarks
Actual results:
The bookmark dropdown contains scrolling buttons in the top and the bottom
Expected results:
Show multiple columns with bookmarks, so that scrolling is not needed. There is a lot of screen real estate, so why not use it?

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Bookmarks & History' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

I'll set this to new to get a response about the desirable behaviour in this case.

One of the problems with covering the screen is that it would make it very difficult to pick out what you need, especially if things change. This also isn't typical UX for menus these days.
We might be willing to see if it is possible to change to a scrollbar rather than scroll arrows, but we agreed that multi-column would be a wontfix.

How?
especially if things change. This also isn't typical UX for menus these days.
Just look at the start menu of Windows 10.

Hi Andrei, Firefox allows some restyling of the Bookmarks menu drop-down through a userChrome.css file. Over the years, this particular tweak has become more complicated due to the challenges of styling shadow trees. For suggestions on addressing this issue in the current version, try the r/FirefoxCSS subreddit.

It's not capable to do this.
