I used to have a Firefox extension that allowed me to adjust the size of the google search window on the top of the screen (by default it’s pretty small). It was called googlebar slider, or something like that.

I reformatted my pc, and for the life of me I can’t find that stupid extension. [Here](https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/showlist.php?application=firefox&version=1.0&os=Windows&numpg=10&pageid=9) is the Mozilla site. I even searched the Dope archives, but no dice (though I did read about a bunch of other extensions I’m gonna check out!).

Any help?

Guess I spoke to soon. I can’t get it to work. I’ve loaded it several times and even restarted the computer, but it’s not showing up in the toolbar-customization window.

[This](https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&id=349&vid=1080) might be useful. I cannot vouch for it, since I don’t have Firefox.

Huzzah! That did the trick, Sir or Madam!

Thanks!
