URL bar too small in width

Since a few days now my URL bar is too small. I can see where it used to be in light gray, but the text box is just a small part of it. I searched everywhere but I can not find anything to fix it. I even tried to reset the settings to default but it is still the same. Any idea what I can do?

Here is a screenshot of how it looks like when I click into the text box: (see attached)

Are you using code in userChrome.css ?

You can set this pref to false in about:config to disable userChrome.css and userContent.css.

Start Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or if userChrome.css/userContent.css is causing the problem.

  • switch to the Default System theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
  • do NOT click "Refresh Firefox" in the Troubleshoot Mode start window

No, I don't know how to code or such. I am just using Firefox for watching videos on the side. I did not install any new addons nor did I change any settings knowingly. I also don't know how to start firefox in troubleshooting mode.
