Firefox Address Bar

[berniecuddles]

don't know how to phrase this but here goes!(im on windows 8)
i only seem to get half the address on my Firefox address bar!
ie: the page i'm on here says (computer questions and answers in t........) and i cant see the rest of what it says, so how can i lengthen it so it shows all the words.
hope someone understands that. thx

just to add, the reason I'm asking when trying to put a you tube video on here earlier i only get the song title in the address bar and not the you tube link the bar needs to be longer to see all the words?

Do you mean the address bar or the tab?

In my Firefox, for this page the address bar contains:-

whereas the tab title is:-
Firefox Address Bar in The AnswerBank: Computers

i think its the tab title bibblebub can it be made longer to show all the words?

definitely the tab title

The solution I would recommend is the Tab Mix Plus add-on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/ which allows you total control over tabs and so has far more settings than just what you want.

I've been using it for far too long to be able to remember what changes you might notice just because of its default settings when installed but hopefully it won't impose any changes on you initially.

If you do decide to use it then go to its setting, select Display, then Tab and in the bottom are of those settings you can set minimum/maximum widths (e.g. 100 / 1000) and a flag so that the tab width fits the tab title.

Did that all make sense? By playing around with the numerous settings that Tab Mix Plus provides you can get tabs to look and behave just the way you want, not the way that is imposed on you by the defaults of the browser.
