Ffx 31: my Address box and common bookmarks are in one bar, how can I keep a nice small Address box, without having to have a really wide window?
I think it's only in V. 31, but I seem to have to have my Ffx window almost full-screen before I can see a nice small Address box as well as my common bookmarks. If I try to use a narrower window, the Address box resizes itself to become full-width, obliterating my bookmarks. How can I change this behaviour please?

Does this happen in Safe Mode? (Start Firefox without add ons by clicking in the "3bar" menu and clicking the question mark and "Restart Firefox with add-ons disabled")
How to Customize Toolbars may also help find an alternative.
Yes, the problem remains, even when started in Safe Mode. The attached screen shots are taken in Safe Mode and demonstrate the problem.
The link doesn't help I'm afraid; I've already exhausted all the Customisation options that I'm aware of.
Thanks, Keith

Got it, have you tried the add on toolbar? It would add a new bar but it would keep the buttons there. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fire.../the-addon-bar/
in userchrome.js you can also try to customize to restrict the container: this bug was filed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1003367 but was not confirmed if it did not work or not.
Below this line in userChrome.css: and here is more explanation: http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css @namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
add one or both of these lines, setting the pixels (i.e., 400px, 200px) to the width you want; include the # sign at the beginning of the line(s):
- urlbar-container { max-width: 400px !important; }
- search-container { max-width: 200px !important; }
Several other users who moved their "Bookmarks Toolbar Items" to other bars have reported that in Firefox 31, if the full "Bookmarks Toolbar Items" doesn't it, it slips onto the overflow list. It's probably an unintentional side effect of a change meant to solve a different problem.
I can't recall whether there is a workaround, but for those users trying to minimize the number of bars, I think they ended up moving controls from the main Navigation Toolbar onto the Bookmarks Toolbar and then suppressing the Navigation Toolbar using Classic Theme Restorer or another extension that has that feature. Not an ideal solution.
Looks like a bug is on file for this, but I'm not sure the fix will make it into Firefox 32 at this point (only 3 weeks to go...).
Note on the bug tracking system: it's generally not helpful to add "me, too" / "hurry up" comments to bugs, but you can register on the Bugzilla site and "vote" for them to be fixed. See:
