I am using latest version of Firefox 60.0.1 Quantum. I have hundreds of Bookmarks in Firefox and I have customized by Firefox using userchrome.css

I have fairly long sentences for the Bookmark links I have. So when I type the keywords in addressbar, in URL dropdown I see bookmarks, But the problem is since the URL dropdown just shows one line for every bookmark, history and other entries, the bookmark name is trimmed.

Is there a way in firefox where we can wrap the names of bookmarks in URL dropdown so that it shows complete name and in 2 or more lines if the Bookmark name is long line?

I don't know how you are labeling your bookmarks, but I suggest using shorter describers.

I have long bookmark name with one line sentence. I have need to use this long bookmarks given that I am using Firefox for work related links, knowledge articles, defects which will need long bookmarks to identify given that there are hundreds of them ...

It would be good to wrap bookmark titles in urldrop down. If that is not possible, Is it possible to list Bookmark title and url's in 2 lines in ULR dropdown (title in first line & url in second line).

All I can suggest is;

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web Link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for what you want.

You can also post your question in the add-ons forum; https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/c/add-ons
