When I open Preferences, some of the features are cut off by the window being too small. For example, on the security page I cannot see anything below the word Passwords and cannot edit my saved passwords. On easyPandora, I cannot choose Disable on Startup or Enable either. I cannot drag the window larger to see what I need to either

Add code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line.

You can use the ChromEdit Plus extension to have easier access to the customization files.


@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#BrowserPreferences{ width: 70em !important; }

With the Preferences (Mac) window open, elements of several tabs are hidden and not accessible because the window is too small. It can't be re-sized or scrolled. This is true in all the following tabs: General, Tabs, Content, Privacy and Security.
