Expanding the Bookmarks Window?

Post by BuzWeaver »

Do you guys know of a way to expand the Book Marks window? We used to be able to adjust the size, but in recent years its been stuck on this default size.

Hi,
There are quite a few "Bookmark" type extensions to choose from.

See if either of these suit...

Thanks for the suggestions Limpet, however what I'm looking to do as you see with the Red Circles in the image, is grab either corner and extend (expand/lengthen) the Bookmark Box to expose more of the Bookmark Folders. It's not been possible for a few years and I've not seen anything that allows for that type of an adjustment.

There is another way you can go about it: find the bookmark in either the Bookmarks sidebar (Ctrl+B) or the Bookmarks menu in the menu bar.
Right click -> Properties will get you a native window that you can resize however you want.

I think... if you really want that normal sizing function as pointed out in your post... you will probably have to wait for one of the code-gurus that come here... but... that last extension that Limpet235 not only allows a user to resize that window 'vertically only' but has lots of other useful functions.

I found out that the way you do it is to add that extension, right-click a page and the context menu appears...Bookmark this page... when the saving screen shows up place your cursor on the bar just above
the 'New Folder' button and you will see the up/down arrow ... expand from there.

Thank you Limpet. The Add Bookmark Here does actually allow for expanding, but not quite the way I would have anticipated, but it does work.

Yep. That's the link Limpet gave me as well. It did work, but not quite the way I would have anticipated, but it will do. I appreciate the help.
