When I click on a file whilst surfing, trying to download the file, the popup dialog window is really small, and you can't see what it says. I have tried to make it bigger but I can't. It works fine in Safari, in Chrome, etc.

I tried resetting Firefox, but that didn't help.

Any suggestions?

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

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

Locate the above files. Then rename or delete them. Restart Firefox.

I have reset Firefox, including deleting the entire Firefox app, as well as the Firefox folder in Application Support, and the popup is still (perhaps) a quarter of normal size.

Can you attach a screenshot?

  • use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot
  • make sure you do not exceed the maximum size of 1 MB

Did you try to place the mouse at the bottom right corner to see if that allow to resize this window?

Does Mac has a system menu for windows like Alt+Space on Windows and Linux that allows to modify the window size?

I have attached a screenshot of the dialog box.

And yes, I have tried everything I know of to try. I cannot resize the window, with neither the mouse, key-commands, or menu choices.
