How can I make the search bar wider?
My search and address box are on the same line. But the search bar is just long enough to write in maybe three words.I'd like to extend it. Taking space from the address bar is fine because 'it' takes up half the browser length. Thanks.
This happened
Every time Firefox opened
== I placed theaddress and search bar on the same line as the menu.

You lose the resize feature for the URL bar / Search bar when you move those items off the Navigation bar.
You'll have to use some userChrome.css code to make the Search container larger.

See how this works for you - the 400px is the width, change to suit your needs.
#searchbar, .searchbar-textbox {
max-width: 400px !important;
}

'You lose the resize feature for the URL bar / Search bar when you move those...'
Oh so that's why. That explains it. I just moved it back to the Bookmark bar.
Thank you edmeister.
If the location bar and search bar are next to each other then you can place the mouse between the location bar and search bar to resize both bars. That only work if there is nothing between the two.
You can set a min-width for the search bar to force a larger search bar:
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#search-container {
min-width: 200px!important;
}
Add the code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line.
