In Bookmarks I created folders... I put the addresses in the folder...when I click on the folder when the list shows up to the left of the folder it is not wide enough to see the names of what is in it. How do I make that list wider?

Note -- the list the list that shows up when I click on Bookmarks is fine -- I know they show up as wide as the longest name.

Thank you for your help.

About what list are you talking about?

Is that the list that opens if you click the Bookmarks Menu or the list that opens if you click the button next to the star (Show your bookmarks)?

Firefox would normally try to open the folder list top the right. If there isn't enough space because there are bookmarks with very long names then Firefox will try to open the list at the left. I assume that if this still fails then the names will be truncated. In either case you would have to shorten bookmark names that are too long to change how a folder opens (left/right).

I am sorry having issues. I know it has something to do with userChrome.css and editing it. Someone will be along to help you further and with more knowledge. Thank You
