How to reduce the size of URL toolbar in Firefox? Hi all,
I posted this topic elsewhere but didn't get answer yet.
So, I may post it here hoping to find the right answer.
Well, I would like to reduce the size of URL address toolbar, or better to customize it in a manner that its size fits to the length of URL being visited in Firefox.
I mean that if the URL is long, for example (useless to click, a fake example!): http://www.urlverylongblablablablablablabla.com), the URL bar length should extend accordingly and if it is short (ex. http://www.ff.com) the size of URL toolbar should also be short accordingly.
I tried to insert a flexible space on right of the bar and drag it on left but this didn't work.
So, does somebody has a trick to customize the URL bar size, and benefits of the gained space to stick another bar utility?
Thank you in advance

Thank you in advance I have one " manual " way.
It does not adjust the length automatically.
Rest your cursor at the extreme right side of the address box > the cursor should turn into a 2-pointer > left click and HOLD > drag the address box to the right or left to fit the length of the url. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Acer Aspire 7741Z OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, SP1 CPU Intel Pentium P6200, Cores 2, 2.13 GHz Memory 4 GB Graphics Card Intel HD Sound Card unknown Monitor(s) Displays 17.3 inches Screen Resolution 1600 x 900 Hard Drives 640 GB, 5400 PRM |

You can fully expand the bar by moving items around.
Is that what you're looking for? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Self-built OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit CPU Intel Core i7-3770 Motherboard MSI Z77A-G45 Memory G.SKILL 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 F3-10666CL9D-8GBNT Graphics Card Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 6670 Sound Card On-Board Realtek Monitor(s) Displays Samsung SyncMaster P2370HD, Dell 1703FPT Screen Resolution 1920 x 1080, 1280 x 1024 Keyboard Logitech K270 Mouse Logitech M705 PSU SeaSonic M12II SS-500GM Case Lian Li PC-9F Cooling Zalman CNPS9900ALED Hard Drives Samsung HD103SJ Internet Speed 16 Mbps Other Info Bose Companion 2 Multimedia Speakers |

Actually, I would like that the address toolbar shrinks or expands automatically in according to the length of the URL address.
Or, reduce its size permanently. I don't need necessarily to see the entire URL. So, if the part of url next to (.com) is hiden, this is not problem! It could be visible upon selection or when pointing the bar. | My System Specs | | How to reduce the address toolbar size in Firefox? problems? All times are GMT -5. The time now is 12:20 AM. | |
