How can I shorten the length of my main URL bar so it doesn't hide Snoopy snoring?
I have assigned an animated Firefox Persona of Snoopy snoring on top of his doghouse and Woodstock on his tummy, however my URL address bar is hiding most of Snoopy and Woodstock completely. Is there a way to shorten this bar so I can actually see Woodstock?

The location bar and search bar have a flex property and take all available space.
You can change the relative size of both with that resizer between the two bars, but that won't change the space that both take.
You can add Space elements at the right of the bar in the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window to make the location bar shorter.
You can set a specific width of those bars if you add code to userChrome,css
Add code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line.
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration#How_to_edit_configuration_files
#urlbar-container {max-width: 400px !important;}
#search-container {max-width: 200px !important;}
(adjust the width to your needs, no space before px)
In the previous version, you could adjust the two address bars (main URL address bar + search engine bar) by just dragging it. how can i restore that feature in this version. Thanks
You can still drag the two bars by placing the mouse pointer between the two, but that only changes their relative size (width) and doesn't make them shorter in total.
