1 edit | [FireFox] Can't resize search bar
Search bar Firefox | 
Search bar SeaMonkey |
The pointer does NOT turn into a two-ended arrow. I think that is likely because there is NO space for the search bar to expand in. How do I shorten the address bar so there is space for the search bar? It is very tiny at the moment and the address bar could be shorter. I like a long one but it doesn't need to be as long as it currently is.
I found this thread »[FireFox] Resize Address Bar v5
But there were no replies. So, is it not possible to resize the address bar? If not, then how does anyone use the tiny search bar?
Can I move the search bar to the Menu bar? Lots of space there.

haven't bothered with modding the location or search bar in a long while, but I've never seen it look like what your snapshot shows--not by default anyway. Do you have another extension or script or userstyle screwing with it?
Here's some old CSS which might work for you:
@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);
#searchbar, #search-container
{ width: 250px !important;
min-width: 250px !important;
max-width: 250px !important; }

kudos:4 | That looks like a neat extension. But I won't need it.
I got it fixed! I right clicked in that area and got Customize to appear and I dragged the Search bar into Customize and then I closed Customize. Then I reopened Customize and dragged the Search bar back to where it had been before. It was a bit bigger when I let go of it with my mouse! So, I hovered the mouse over the left edge of the bar and THIS time I got the double edged arrows so I was able drag it larger and as I did that the address bar shrank.
So, I got it a nice size and the address bar is shorter than I like but it is ok. Somehow, it got "stuck" in that tiny size and dragging it off and then back on allowed it to get "unstuck". (I had an odd problem earlier tonight with the SeaMonkey search bar as it was the wrong search bar! I don't know why SeaMonkey has TWO search bars but I had the other one and I couldn't see the search engines as there was no down arrow and I couldn't enlarge that one either as I got no two way arrows. So, I opened Customize there also and I saw another, slightly different looking search bar and it works correctly. That sounds like a theme issue, but I have the standard theme buttons along with a Persona (same as with Fx) so I don't think that is the reason SM has two search bars available).
