There used to be an Icon (3 dots in a triangle I believe) in the lower right hand corner of text boxes that allowed me to enlarge the text box for easier viewing of all the text. In searching through available add-ons, the ones that appear to do this function show up as not being compatible with version24.0. Is there any way to get this feature back?

IIRC, that type of extension hasn't been needed since before Firefox 4 came out. I see that lower-right corner triangle of dots in the Post a Reply where I am typing right now.

And this version - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/resizeable-textarea/ - that I used to use years ago, specifically says - Firefox 4 with build in resizing is out!

Note that is is possible that a website disables this feature via CSS code (textarea{resize:none})

I really liked it when the resize "grip" appeared a couple of Firefox versions ago.

However, more and more web sites seem to set the CSS style property "resize" to "none" in order to remove the resize grip.

I don't like this idea. I want to be able to resize a text input area whenever I may see fit.

How can I globally disable the "resize" CSS property and get the resize grip back?

You can right-click in the text area and open the Inspector (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer;Ctrl+Shift+I).
Disable the resize:none rule.

Add code to the userContent.css file.

The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder. 

textarea { resize: both !important; }
