Browsers are constantly updating their software and each browser is different. It’s lots of fun, for instance, coding a website that will render the way I want it to in every browser, and poof! The darn browser updates again. Chrome and Firefox are notorious for this.
City-data uses a common forum software called v-bulletin, so it is that company that would have to update to remove the extra spaces. Or you could argue that Firefox made a mistake in their recent update, and they are the ones that need to fix it.
I have never in my life been able to someone's instructions on how to "fix" something of a technological nature on my computer. They tell you to click on a b then c, but I never have any of those things where I am told they should be. I give up. I'll just have to wait for c-d to catch up.
In English?
Ok, for those who don't consider that English, you may want to refrain from attempting this mod. It is not difficult, but requires meticulous attention to detail and accuracy to a fault. But I'll post a step-by-step procedure and let you decide whether to take the risk. But in reality, the risk could not be greater than making a mistake that would require re-installing Firefox. And it's free, of course.
There are a multitude of "behind-the-scenes" settings in Firefox that are not in the options menu and are intended for advanced users only. They are accessed in about:config.
Go to your main web address field, type in about:config, and press enter.
You will then see a warning screen that tells you that "this might void your warranty"
Click the "I accept the risk!" button if you so choose.
You will then see a screen with a looooooooong list of settings. Find the one I previously referenced. Using the search box at the top of the page makes that easy
When you find the line, look to the value column on the far right. It will say true if you have a default installation.
Double click true and it will change to false.
Needless to say, don't touch anything else!
Now just close that about:config tab. Then close and restart Firefox.

Your double line spacing problem is solved.
Do these instructions also work for browsers other than Firefox ?
Or does this problem only occur using Firefox on C-D ?

Incidentally I DID look for a thread on the subject first. I didn't find the old one it must have been a page or two back.
So sorry! I was trying to HELP you. I use Chrome, so I don't have the problem. But, yet, I remembered the thread and thought that I'd try to help you. Shame on me.
Firefox has been bugging me for a week or two to update, but I haven't bothered yet. Based on this thread, I don't think I will. Not the first time Firefox has messed things up.

You've already lost me.
What is a "main web address field" and where would that be?
