How do I change the size of text entry box of search & location?
Dear Firefox Community
I want a longer text entry area in the search bar and a shorter text entry area in the location bar. How do I make this happen? I've looked at the customize Firefox notes and they don't address this (that I can find anyway ...). IIRC I was able to do it in an earlier version but ...
The educated guesses about my system are correct -
- Win 8.1, FF v35.
- Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 11.0.03
- Intel web components updater - Installs and updates the Intel web components
- Intel web components for Intel® Identity Protection Technology
- Shockwave Flash 16.0 r0
Thanks.

The Firefox browser is set up to what you see in front of you. However, installing an add-on can give you want you are looking for.
Below is my Firefox display.
Many of us are using; Classic Theme Restorer (Customize Australis) {web link} Restore squared tabs, appmenu, add-ons bar, small button view and more on Australis UI (Windows/MacOSX/Linux + Fx 29+).
This will restore many of the things the last upgrades took away.
Vertical Toolbar {web link} Adds a vertical toolbar at the edge of the window.
You can place the mouse pointer between the location bar and the search bar and it will become a resize icon that you can drag right or left with the left mouse button pressed to change the relative width of the two bars. Note that if you place the mouse pointer between the location bar and the search bar then the mouse pointer will change to a resize pointer that allows to change the width of the location and search bar by moving the mouse left or right. The total size stays the same and only the relative sizes change. You need to do that in normal mode (i.e. not in Customize mode).
