Go to about:config and increase value of browser.urlbar.maxRichResults.

If you want more results than will fit on the screen or whatever maximum height Firefox sets internally, you may need to use a custom style rule to add a scrollbar. I think I have that as part of this rule set somewhere:

Hi! It didn't work. I doubled the value, and restarted Firefox and checked that the value is still as I set it (to 20), but there are still only 10 results showing.

Yes! Now I have 20 URL suggestions in the address bar / location bar! Thank you!

There is still a peculiar problem though. Look at the strange indentations on the 2 attached screen shots.

Hi Hero27, I don't know what is taking up that extra space.

What rule did you use to increase the height? For example:

/* All items visible without scrolling */
#PopupAutoCompleteRichResult .autocomplete-richlistbox {
  height:auto !important; /* for ESR52, not Quantum */
}

Thank you for your reply!

I have 2 rules similar to that:

 /* Ability to scroll in Fx57 */
 #PopupAutoCompleteRichResult .autocomplete-richlistbox > scrollbox {
   overflow-y: auto !important; 
   padding-right: 3px !important;
 }
 #PopupAutoCompleteRichResult .autocomplete-richlistbox {
   padding-right: 0 !important;
 }

Is that 1 too many? :-) NB! I use Firefox ESR v.52.6.0 (64-bit).

Hi Hero27, I don't think either of those rules is the problem: padding-right is just empty space on the right side, and overflow-y affects the vertical dimension. More likely it's something on the left side, or something which hides or collapses certain icons.

I just posted the following message, but the forum software cut the userChrome.css file in 2. Apparently because there is a comment taking up several lines:

Well. Here is the whole userChrome.css file. Can you see the problem somewhere?:

/* Taller Folder List in Edit Bookmark */
#editBMPanel_folderTree {
  min-height: 400px !important; 
}
/*

  You can copy/paste into a userChrome.css file, see https://www.userchrome.org/
  Firefox 52-56 users: roll back your Stylish to version 2.1.1 or 2.0.7 here:

  /* Ability to scroll in Fx57 */

    padding-right: 3px !important;
  }
  #PopupAutoCompleteRichResult .autocomplete-richlistbox {

  }
}

I don't see anything there that should cause this issue, sorry.

OK. Thanks anyway! It doesn't happen all the time. So all in all your help has been a great improvement!

Now I realize that the userChrome.css is not enough. I need the browser.urlbar.maxRichResults setting too.
