My Add-ons tab can't adjust to resizing

The Add-ons tab for my Firefox 67.0.4 browser for Windows 10 isn't showing a scroll bar and there are definitely more add-ons in the list. I have to completely widen the window to finally see it. My browser is taking up about 90% of my screen. I prefer to have it at 60-70% because I've got several other apps and things to work on. Why doesn't it adjust? Actually a lot of the Firefox windows don't adjust. Is there some setting somewhere to increase it's adaptability?? Thanks!

Let's start with this; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/changes-toolbars-and-window-sizes-are-not-saved You may have corrupt xulstore.json file.

Close Firefox. Open your file browser to this hidden location:

  • Mac: *~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles
  • Linux: *~/.mozilla/firefox/Profiles
  • Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  • *C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  • Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data
    \Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

Search for the above file. Then rename or delete it. Restart Firefox.

Did you look for a horizontal scroll bar that you can use to make the vertical scroll bar visible?

I notice a switch from showing labels in the left column to showing icons only when I make this window smaller. This can make all content display without the horizontal scroll bar. You can consider to open or move the about:addons page to a separate window and resize this window accordingly.
