How to increase the width of the favourites bar?

Hey guys,

How do I increase the width of the favourites bar (next to the URL/search box) so that I can have all the icons visible and don't have to use the >> dropdown?

I've highlighted what I mean in the screenshot attached.

Ideally I'd like to reduce the width of the URL bar in order to allow for the favourites bar to be wider.

Thanks!

What items are in the chevron drop-down list?

Firefox would normally automatically adjust the width of the location bar to make all icons fit.

Are there any items that can provide extra content or open a drop-down list?

You can also try to change the order of the items in this toolbar customization area or possibly disable some extensions or move some icons to the Customize palette to see if that has effect.
