sometimes when I chatting on facebook I left mouse cursor over a link by mistaken and their link target shown at below. When the url too long that covers that line completely. That is so annoying because I couldn't see what I wrote down.

Is there any solution change that target url width or hide?

Chosen solution

This code is currently specified for the statuspanel pop-up:

  • chrome://browser/content/browser.css
statuspanel {
  -moz-binding: url("chrome://browser/content/tabbrowser.xml#statuspanel");
  position: fixed;
  margin-top: -3em;
  max-width: calc(100% - 5px);
  pointer-events: none;
}

You can look at the Status-4-Evar extension.

You can set a max-width for that pop-up that is lower than the currently specified "max-width: calc(100% - 5px)" with code in userChrome.css or hide the pop-up.

Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

statuspanel { max-width: 70% !important; }

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

If you can, move the window so that the box you are typing in is higher on the page.
