After looking at it a bit more closely, I realized that the dialog

has to drag the resizer a bit to get it to drop down to the full

opened?

On my untweaked 2.39 system, I can resize the dialog by dragging the
edges, and SM remembers the size from then on. Not for you?

The vertical limit of resizing seems to be that I can make it so small
that only one of my bookmark folders is visible, but I cannot shrink it
beyond that to hide all bookmark folders or the "Save" and "Cancel"
buttons. Not for you?

So why hard-code the box size? Why not just let the user choose his
preferred size by eye and let SeaMonkey remember that as it will by
default? You seem to be going to an awful lot of trouble to create a
problem that doesn't exist when you take the program out of the box.

With SeaMonkey 2.40, it is a problem. The dialog box seems to be hard-coded to have a certain vertical size, and it has to be dragged to enlarge it. The size to which it is dragged is not saved. The buttons do not appear unless you drag it. I did manage to find the element name for the whole dialog box, and resized that. The dialog box now opens from the beginning to the new vertical size and when I open the folder list, it is just right. My folder list has not changed for years, so that works, and I can change the size if I need to.
