As mentioned in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1585980#c12 , the Awesombar popup window now sizes itself to the size of the URLbar, even though it has to display both site titles AND URLs and so has much less room to go around.

Mak mentioned that this is supposed to be mitigated by the Awesombar providing separate lines if the window is too narrow.

As demonstrated in the attached screenshot, the heuristics are probably suboptimal.

Should be evaluated with UX.

We're going to increase the wrap-point by 50px. The wrap-point is an arbitrary px value, so we won't be able to account for all small-width situations. Our goal is to account for most situations so that most users don't encounter significant URL overflow.
