tab-window for firefox-passwords
The tab-window for firefox-passwords was larger some versions before, and the tab-window could be changed in size. By changing the tab-window for firefox-passwords, the tab-window is smaller now and it could not be changed in size. To view many passwords at once, it is more difficult now, because it has to be scrolled down many times to view all passwords at all.
The tab-window of thunderbird is possible to change in size and it is not changed like the tab-window of firefox-passwords.
Is there any chance to change the tab-window for firefox-passwords, that many firefox-passwords could be viewed at once at a larger page like before and that the tab-window could be changed in size ?

You should be able to resize this window if you place the mouse pointer in the bottom right corner.
You can toggle browser.preferences.inContent to false on the about:config page: page via a double-click to restore the standalone Options/Preferences window that you had in previous Firefox versions.
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
Hello cor-el,
thank you for your support. This is the old tab-window I have been looking for and this tab-window can be set on full-screen-size too.
Hello cor-el,
since firefox 42.0 it is not possible to open the old tab-window for firefox passwords. I tried once again the solution-path you have described, but it did not open the old tab-window, and there is only to open another new tab in firefox window. Please send me some information how to open the old tab-window as before through options in about:config.

For the passwords and the cookies you can consider to open the Password Manager and the Cookie Manager via "Tools > Page Info > Security" also accessible via the Site Identity Button at the left end of the location/address bar.
That will open the Password Manager and Cookie Manager in a standalone window.
- click the "Site Identity Button" (globe/padlock) on the location/address bar
- click the arrow to expand the security message
- click "More Information" to open "Tools > Page Info"
- click "Permissions" to inspect and modify permissions
- click "Security" to inspect and modify cookies and passwords in a standalone window
How can I open this old tab-window for options and especially all firefox passwords ?

How can I open this old tab-window for options and especially for all firefox passwords ? The solution path you have shown should only help to select some several websites, but not to open the old options window with a seperate window to chose and with the best overview for all firefox passwords as before.

The browser.preferences.inContent is no longer supported in Firefox 42 and later (bug 1140495), so it is not possible to open a standalone window by setting this pref to false.
You can look at the Classic Theme Restorer extension.
- General UI (1): Open options page (about:preferences) in a window (v2)
- https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/
If that isn't working or the choice is missing then you might be using a theme that isn't supported. You can check that by switching to the default theme.
Hello cor-el,
why it is not possible to open a standalone window by setting this pref to false ? I think this standalone window for firefox preferences should be installed again in the next firefox version update.

No, that won't happen. You will have to install the above mentioned CTR extension to regain the feature to open Options/Preferences in a standalone window. CTR has several choices for the appearance of the Options window that you can select via a drop-down list in the General UI (1) tab of the CTR settings page (Tools menu or button on the about:addons page).
