How do I shorten the bar that appears when I click properties?
When I right-click on a bookmark, then go to properties, the bar is so long that I have to move it back and forth to have it all fit on the screen and see all of the information. I am not sure of the technical name for this information bar. How can I make it shorter? Windows 7, Firefox 20.0.1

With the dialog open, press Alt+Spacebar. The window control menu should drop down from the upper left of the Properties dialog. Click Size, then press the right arrow key once (to select moving the right side of the box), then hold down the left arrow key so Windows reduces the size of the dialog. When it reaches the desired size, you can press Enter to complete the resizing.
Does that work?
If necessary, Plan B is to rename the settings file that stores window and dialog sizes, and your toolbar customizations.
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename localstore.rdf to something like localstore.old
Restart Firefox. Window sizes and positions, and toolbars, should be back to factory specifications.

Try to update your Firefox.
Updating didn't help. :(

Your first suggestion worked. Thank you so much. This was driving me crazy and I NEVER would have figured this out on my own.
