This was working fine on the 2.0 series, and stop working on 3.0.
It is very annoying to try to find the proper place to put a new bookmark when only 4-5 lines of text is shown.

This cannot be so hard.
If there is any fast method to create a working IDE, I shall be doing it myself.

Nobody does seem to be interested int solving the PRoblem.
Is there a vm with a Developmentenvironment do download.
In this Case I would be fixing it myself.

This is a very annoying bug that is widely discussed on message boards.  Although the OpenBook addon (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/42) used to work, it has still not been updated for FF 3.6.

This should really be a standard feature in Firefox.  ALL windows and modals should be resizable in my opinion.

No, this is a different UI.  It may be a duplicate of bug 403190, but I'm not sure if they use the same window or not.  Regardless, I can confirm this issue.

[Marco Bonardo [:mak]]

well it is connected to bug 403190 but not the same, even if the dialog resizes, the treeview won't follow it, that is what this bug is about.

Does anyone, know, where to find a vm with a Developmentenvironment do download.
Or, alternatively, how to install a toolchain into a vm, without taking day to reasearch for hte downloads and todos.
In this Case I would be fixing it myself.

Just tested with FF 57.0.4 on Windows 10 & the all bookmarks dialog now has the treeview resized with the dialog. I guess we fixed this at some stage :-)
