There seems to be more wrong looking at the bugs that have been filed:


Only these two lines need to be in the userChrome.css file:

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

#SanitizeDialog { width: 34em !important; }

Can you resize this pop-up if you press Alt+Space to open its system menu?

You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file.

Yes i can resize it, but when i close it gets back to normal. I tried with deleting localstore.rdf form profile folder but nothing happens ;\

The screenshot shows a window that is much smaller then it should be, so there is definitely something wrong here.

Does starting Firefox in Safe Mode has any effect?

I've installed the Bulgarian Firefox version and I see the same small Clear Recent History window.

The DOM Inspector shows a width of 14em and that is really too small compared to what I get with the en-US version (width: 34em).

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

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

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

#SanitizeDialog {width: 34em !important;}

See:

  • view-source:chrome://browser/locale/sanitize.dtd

Sounds that something got wrong here and maybe a bug should be filed:

<!-- LOCALIZATION NOTE (dialog.width2): width of the Clear Recent History and
     Clear History on Shutdown dialogs.  Should be large enough to contain
     the item* strings above on a single line.  The column width should be set
     at half of the dialog width. -->

<!ENTITY dialog.width2                 "14em">   (shouldn't this be at least 28em ?)
<!ENTITY column.width2                 "14em">

The sanitize.dtd in the en-US locale:

<!-- LOCALIZATION NOTE (dialog.width2): width of the Clear Recent History and
     Clear History on Shutdown dialogs.  Should be large enough to contain
     the item* strings above on a single line.  The column width should be set
     at half of the dialog width. -->
<!ENTITY dialog.width2                 "34em">
<!ENTITY column.width2                 "17em">
