553040 - Re-size "Page Bookmarked" window

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 418864

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6

Requesting the "Page Bookmarked" pop up window be made re-sizable by dragging corners or sides of the window. Previous FF versions allowed for this and it is very helpful to be able to re-size the bookmarks window to allow for viewing longer named bookmark folders, as well as for working with multiple bookmark folders during the same online session. The ability to move the window around the browser display area would also be helpful. Both of these were possible in previous versions but not now in 3.6, as far as I can tell. Thanks.

Reproducible: Always

no previous version allowed to resize that panel, i guess you used some sort of extension to do that.

also, please don't report more than one request per bug, and before reporting be sure the bug has not yet been filed through a search in bugzilla. thanks.

Sorry, Marco, but you are wrong. Not only did previous versions of FF allow for resizing of the Bookmarks window, but it also let you drag the popup bookmark window around the page. I know because I used it numerous times every day. This was with FF 2. I was not using any extension for this. As for mentioning another request in the same report, sorry about that. I am only a longtime user (since Netscape one in 1996 or 1997). If every single upgrade of FF did not remove some of the previous features that users like, then peons like me would not have to dirty the air of immortals such as you with our piddly requests. A thousand pardons, your highness.
