Change size of the header bar to better display persona images?
I would like to change the vertical size of the header area in Firefox so the persona images I choose will be easier to see. Right now, when I choose a persona image, it only displays part of the image. The bottom part of the image seems to be blocked by the little horizontal gray line that separates the image area and the standard white background of the Firefox browsing area. The gray line looks like you can just grab it with the cursor and drag it down (as you would normally to increase the overall height or width of the entire browser screen) but no love.

Add extra empty toolbars if you want to see more of the persona.
You can create new toolbars via View > Toolbars > Customize
You have to place something on a toolbar (drag a Space item onto it) before closing the Customize window as empty toolbars are automatically removed.

That worked perfectly, thank you so much!
You're welcome
Please Help! I tried this and it just won't work. When I close the customize toolbar window all the tool bars disappear and the browser goes back to original size. I've put spacers on it, I've put icons on it but the new tool bar won't stay. I must be doing something wrong. Using Windows XP with Firefox 3.6.13
Hi - I marked tpach's post as 'helpful' because I realised that I'm not alone in experiencing the same problem - i.e. my browser header does not show a full persona, vertically. I also tried cor-el's instructions. It seemed to work, but as soon as I clicked 'done', the browser header shrank back to size. Bah! It really does spoil the look of the personas, as some is always missing. FYI, I use Windows Vista with Firefox 3.6.13. Any help, please?!
Further to my post above, I have persevered with the instructions given by cor-el about adding (customising) toolbars on the browser header. Each time I added a toolbar, I got more creative in the positioning of icons. Through trial and error I can now see all of my chosen persona. Thanks again cor-el!
Tpach, if you read this, have another go. Believe me, I was having big problems in adding bars, and making them 'stay' with the added 'drag across' icons. It might just pay off. Good luck.
If you right click> customise> Add New Toolbar, a little box pops up asking for a name. I usually name them Extra1, Extra 2, Extra 3 etc.
When you have done that, click and drag a Flexible Space onto your new toolbar area (you could also use a space but I prefer to use a felxible one as you can clearly see it fill the toolbar area). When you see your white space 'land' on the area, click "Done".
If you repeat this step a few times, after you have about 5 extra toolbars, if you right click on the toolbar area, you should be able to see a list of all of them. Now you can tick/untick as many as you need to display your persona.
I do admit, this is a pain in the neck! I find that some personas show the entire image with only 2 extra toolbars and others take about 8! But by the time you have done that, your browsing window is so small as the persona takes up a third of the screen, it's not worth it!
If aynone knows how to find out the resolution of your own browser toolbar area, so that you can fit an image in the top right corner - WITHOUT it being cropped and WITHOUT having to add mutiple additional toolbars, please let me know!
You can create one toolbar (name: PersonaFiller) via "View > Toolbars > Customize" and put a single Space item on it and use code in userChrome.css to set a min-height for that toolbar.
If you do not want to see that toolbar to get more website space then you only need to remove one check-mark via the right-click context menu.
Add code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line.
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */ #__customToolbar_PersonaFiller {min-height:100px !important;}
