How to prevent from the address\search-field from resizing and obscuring other buttons on same bar?
I reduced my bars to 2 - on which there are all the buttons of addons etc - most are on the same bar as the address\search field; on the other - the tabs.
When it resizes due to some long URL or something - some of the buttons end-up after it to the right - in a "more tools" menu - which I need to click on - so it unfolds and I can see those buttons.
Or some other way to prevent from the buttons to be obscured. Thanks.

I seem to have solved the problem by installing "Classic Theme Restorer"; which allows to combine tabs and address field to 1 bar (screenshot).

Can you attach a screenshot that shows your current setup?
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot

- use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot
- make sure you do not exceed the maximum size of 1 MB
You can consider to move the search bar to the "3-bar" menu button drop-down list via Customization mode or via the right-click context menu of the magnifier icon (Move to Menu).
I don't understand what you meant or what "3-bar" is. P.S. I want to reduce the menus\bars as much as possible; so far I was able to reduce it to 2 bars.
In the screenshot you can see that at the right side - there are 3 buttons in the drop-down menu.

If that is the case then try to contact the developer of this extension to see if he has a solution for this problem.
cor-el - the add-on is probably "Hide Caption Titlebar".
So are you implying that the problem doesn't exist for whom doesn't have this button\add-on? Specifically - the address-field doesn't resize and some buttons end-up in the "more tools" menu? Does this menu exist without the theme extension?
I've never experienced the location bar resizing like you reported. I keep the search bar in the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list to have a longer location bar and see more of the URL..
Does it still resize if you toggle Full Screen mode on/off or does that restore the normal layout?
I'm afraid I didn't really understood your explanation of what you do in your FireFox; these kinds of things are hard to express\understand in words.
I solved the problem; explained in the next reply.
Thanks.
