Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.9) Gecko/20071025 Firefox/2.0.0.9

Turning the bookmark properties window to be resizable would be very useful mainly regarding the "Location" field, which usually gets very long, and the fixed size window does not allow seeing the whole content in such cases.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right-click a bookmark 
2. Select Properties
Actual Results:  
The bookmark properties window is not resizable.

Expected Results:  
The bookmark properties window should be resizable.

we have a bug for the star panel i suppose we need one for the proerties dialog, some dialogs are already resizeable, but not all and that differs based on platform.

There is no longer a bookmarks properties context menu, nor does that UI exist anymore, so this bug is INVALID.

Shawn, I can confirm that in Firefox version 3.0.10, Windows Vista, this issue still exists, you just need to right-click any bookmark (in tool bar or menu) and select the "Properties" menu item. This shows a window that allows the user to change the bookmark properties, and this window is not resizable.

Sorry - the bug wasn't clear about where this was, and I thought you were talking about the library.  I can confirm this bug.

Although this predates it, this should probably be marked a duplicate of 418864

This is a different UI from that.

Moin Moin.

Any new Ideas, why this windowsize is blocked (as in "https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=527224").
If anyone knows, where to find a vm with a Developmentenvironment do download, or how to install a Developmentenvironment (The pieces are frayed out over different sites, which would not be a problem, if I knew, what I would have to download, without this it would be taking day to reasearch for the downloads and todos.
In this Case I would be fixing it myself.
