Ever wondered why can’t you expand Firefox’s bookmark toolbar? Because it is not possible… not! Luckily there are some geeks out there who are hacking and trying and then tadaaa! they have a solution. Such guys are at Codelicious and they’ve managed to resolve the issue.

Here’s how it goes:

1. Find your ‘userChrome.css’ file. Probably you won’t have any but you will have a user Chrome-example.css in your c:\Documents and Settings\[yourusername]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[blabla].default\chrome\ folder, rename it and edit.

2. Add the following lines at the end:

/* Multi-row bookmarks toolbar for Fx3b5pre*/
#bookmarksBarContent
{display:block !important;}
.places-toolbar-items
{display:block !important;
height: 35px !important; /* I changed this to 50px */
overflow-y:auto !important;}
#bookmarksBarContent toolbarseparator
{display:inline !important;}
#bookmarksBarContent .bookmark-item
{visibility: visible !important;}
.chevron {height: 0px !important;}

you may change the height to fit your need…

3. Restart Firefox and there you go! Easy, ain’t it?

Thanks for the guys and Codelicious for their work.
