Fat Firefox Favorites
Until last night I still had one minor gripe with Firefox. Its bookmarks menu cuts off the title of my bookmarks when the title greater than 48 characters. I have a lot of bookmarks, probably too many, and lots with more than 60 characters in the title. In FF these appear cut off making it hard to understand where the bookmark goes. IE does this as well, but its threshold allows for much more text. For example, clicking my favorites menu in IE shows the first 84 characters of each favorite, FF only shows the first 48. The actual # probably varies depending on your font and language settings. Long story short, after a lot of tinkering (and knowledge gained about Mozilla/FF) I figured it out how to increase the amount of bookmark text.

Step 1:
Open up notepad, paste the following and save the file as userchrome.css.

menu.bookmark-item, menuitem.bookmark-item
{
    max-width: 55em !important;
}

Step 2:
If you're using XP put the file in C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data\MozillaFirefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\chrome. Where xxxxxxxx is a random string of 8 characters. If you’re not using XP you can find the correct folder on the Mozilla web site.

Step 3:
Restart Firefox, click the bookmarks menu, be overjoyed  b/c now you can get back to mining Mithril.
