This is a waste of time. It doesn’t work.

That still doesn’t work for me in Firefox 2, and I don’t use themes.

In Firefox 2.0 you’ll need to do this instead (change 250px to suit you):

/* Make the Firefox Search box flex wider */
#search-container, #searchbar {
width: 250px !important;
}

Please try my extension that adds some pretty neat functionality to the Search Bar you mention here…

/* Make the Search box flex wider */
#search-container {-moz-box-flex: 800 !important;
}
#searchbar {
-moz-box-flex: 400 !important;}

the 2nd line is needed to change the actual size of the text box.
(choose numbers to suit) without it you get a smaller url bar and the search bar stays at the same size!

chrome edit currently isnt working
so you need to find your profile
and create userchrome.css

find userchromeExample.css
add the lines to it and save as
userChrome.css

Yeah… that doesnt seem to cut it for me.
Maybe its the theme I’m using? (Phoenity on 1.0PR)

doesnt seem to work for me either.

I used your chrome edit with a previous version of firefox to change the userchrome.css and it worked.

but manually doing it doesnt seem to work. I too am using a theme now. Could that be the problem?

I’m having the same problem, and turning off my themes (so I’m just using the default theme) didn’t help.
