Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
This would be a nice, relatively simple improvement (at least I think it would be...) The component may be the toolbars component, but History seems reasonable as well. -->Confirming for developer review -->All OS

This isn't quite a perfect fix, but I dug around the chrome files and realized that if you set the following in your userChrome.css file (information on editing this can be found on the Phoenix Help page, usually at www.texturizer.net/phoenix but temporarily at phoenixhelp.blomp.com), you'll achieve the double-size drop down menu (default size is around 130px): /*test- change the size of the drop-down url location bar*/ popup[type="autocomplete"], .autocomplete-history-popup { min-height: 250px !important; } will make the URLBar drop-down always show up at 250px. You can vary this amount and see what works best for you. The problem with this fix is that if you don't have enough URLs in your list to populate 250px, there are blanks which look odd. I thought maybe the solution would be to use max-height instead, but Phoenix only "listened" when I used min-height. So, this is at least a temporary fix until someone can shed a little light into making the drop down bar go to 250px, or whatever, *only* when there are enough URLs to do so. Hope this helps a little. Mike
Works great. Thanks.

Reopening. The proposed fix also doubles additional drop-down stores - e.g. the password store.

Hadn't realized it would affect the other auto-fill bars, I guess "history-popup" refers to form history as well. Any addition/modification/total rewrite of the proposed fix that would make it URLBar-only would be most welcome, as this is something I would definitely use.
Fixed.

Wouldn't it be nice, as well, if the depth of the location bar could be altered (to the users preference) with an about:config pref? After the fix is appended to Firebird, of course. << Jonathan
