This is truly a small issue I have with firefox, but I was wondering if somebody might be able to help me with it. I want to make the text box that pops up when I mouse over a thread to be longer. I’ve notice that when I use internet explorer, I can usually get about 5 or 6 lines with which to decide whether or not I want to read the thread, but with firefox it’s only about one line. Anybody know how I can fix this? ---

You could install Cooliris Previews that lets you view the thread in a popup when you mouse over it (or a little icon it adds to links): [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2207](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2207) ---
