That cramped
little box you get for adding a bookmark is backward and stupid.
led me to discover that this box, like far too many boxes
both in Windows and in Seamonkey, is not resizeable.
That's a registered bug, and people are working on it.

Can anyone explain the rationale for this ? Why /do/ developers
believe that there is an optimal size for a dialogue box, and s@d the
poor user if the data that he or she is trying to enter or display
does not fit ?
Why do you believe developers believe this?
What would be the overheads of making all dialogue boxes resizable,
and why is this not standard practice ?
See that bug's page. The API looks terrible (to me).
I agree with Mr Taylor windows should not be a fixed size They should be
adjustable. I to agree Why do developers think the no better what users
want than the users themselves. All that does is drive people away.
Note to developers: fix the program like end users want. Not like
developers want. You not as smart as the users. Your smarter in that
you know how to design applications. But Often you think too logically.
Put yourself in the shoes of the User. Get out from that cubicle you
stay in 48hrs a day and find some lowly user. Stand behind him or her,
say not word. Watch how they go about using SeaMonkey or FireFox, or
Thunderbird. Don't point out how you think things should be done. Just
watch. If they ask why developers change something to make things so
complicated, bite your tongue say not a word.
Then go back to that cubicle and think about stuff, and figure out why
you PO users so much.
