This feature works!! on the "Web Search" dialog. See Tools > Web Search  CTRL+K
Should be exactly like it on the "Open Web Location" dialog too ...

So, this dialog got killed for Firefox 2.0, and although this is a very simple fix, I doubt it's suitable for the 1.8.0.* branch, which is only security and crash fixes. WONTFIX?

This dialog is not killed in Firefox 2.0.0.4 See below steps to recreate this problem.

1. View > Toolbars > Navigation Toolbar (uncheck)
2. File > Open Location (Or the key board short cut Ctrl + L)
3. Same old dialog without resize capability (Keyhole problem of UI).

I am marking this bug as reopened.

I don't see any dupes for this, so confirming as an RFE.

I'm not entirely sure I understand or agree that we'd want this dialog to be resize-able. I can't think of a use-case where this would be useful, where it wouldn't be more advisable to simply use the normal navigation bar.

Marking as WONTFIX for now.
