1395523 - Allow me to resize Search or Location bar so that toolbar can display all tools

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1389713

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, defect)

Description

[Jens]

Attachment: toolbar_search_location_bar_not_resizable.gif

STR: 
====
I have a few tool buttons. One is always hidden behind the "More tools…" toggle.  I have lots of horizontal space and would like to decrease the size of the location bar or the search box. 

AR:
===
But this is not possible. I can change the size (width) between location bar and search but not as a whole. I already tried adding/removing "flexible space" but no success.

ER:
===
Please add resize handler at the left of the location bar and add the right of the search bar so that I as a user can resize like I want.

See screenshotted gif animation.

The button is not hidden because of the size of the location bar and search bar, but because of bug 1389713. We won't add resizers for the url bar / search bar - they will resize automatically to become smaller if you make the window smaller - it wouldn't really make sense for the items to just leave space on the toolbar that has nothing in it. The issue you were having should be fixed now that bug 1389713 is fixed. :-)
