when selecting "bookmark this page" the location select window right side and bottom are cut off, no visible buttons
After I select "bookmark this page" from the bookmarks menu, and then select "show all the bookmarks folders" with the pulldown arrow, the bookmarks folder list appears but the right side and the bottom are cut off so that no buttons are showing. Trying to resize the window does not work. Double clicking on the desired folder selects the folder name for editing, however, the caption at the top says "bookmark saved" and sometimes it is actually where I would like it to be added.

You can enlarge the window with this code in a userChrome.css file in a chrome subdirectory in the Firefox profile.
/* this line has to be at the top, only needed once*/
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");
/* Increase size/height of the expanded bookmarks panel */
#editBMPanel_folderTree,
#editBookmarkPanel { min-width:350px !important; min-height:350px !important; }

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
Addendum: If I click on the folder pull down menu, the window goes to full width and remains wide. If I then click on the down arrow next to the tags field, then click once again, I then have a full window.
My OS is Ubuntu, and the two replies pertain to windows users.
Both own answers apply to all platform and will work on Linux as well.
The customization files userChrome.css (interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the user profile folder.
After finding that I did not have a chrome folder, or userchrome.css file, I installed ChromEdit Plus. Through this app I was able to create a chrome folder and the userchrome.css file using the information from finitarry. The problem still existed. I then edited userchrome.css changing the values to "min-width:800px !important; min-height:800px !important; " The results were; same problem, just bigger. This code changes the folderview pane in the add bookmarks window. The problem is the pane expands larger than the window. Let me see if I can clairify, When you select "bookmark this page" the add bookmark "window" opens. to open the folderview pane, click on the down arrow to the right of the folder pulldown menu. The window is not expanding to contain the pane correctly and pushes all the other controls off the screen.
Did you try Safe mode and are you using the default theme (Tools > Add-ons > Appearance)?
Ubuntu usually makes changes to Firefox via an extension.
Yes I tried safe mode and yes I am using the default theme. The results have not changed, still have a window with the side and bottom cut off if I click on the down arrow to the right of the pulldown folder selection control. However, I have found if I click on the visible folder selection item in the folder selection control, it does force a complete window. So problem NOT solved, but circumvented.
