Firefox options tab does not allow for resizing boxes or columns. How do I fix this, since windowed options are no longer possible?

I recently found, to my horror, that Firefox no longer allows for a windowed options menu whatsoever. I used to be able to search through saved passwords by date created, but the new (and utterly useless) options tab does not let me resize any columns or boxes in any of the myriad options, preventing me from being able to search through my own saved passwords.

Since windowed options have been completely removed, and add-ons to allow them again are cumbersome and frustrating, is there any simple way to use the options tab like a window for functionality's sake? It's extremely frustrating to have all this data stored, but have no way to retrieve it.

hi, you can increase the size of the box of your saved passwords by dragging it on the bottom right corner, so that more of your data is visible...

To be able to fully expand this window you can temporarily switch to Full Screen mode (F11) and drag the border to make the window as large as possible. There is a close X in the top right corner or use Ctrl+W if the close button is missing.
