I've just tested this on Ubuntu 11.10 with Firefox 8.0 and the problem
is not presente anymore. I think we should mark this bug as fixed.

  Google Suggest drop-down list too narrow in Firefox

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: firefox

  The Google Suggest drop-down list is too narrow by default in Firefox
  2.0 (I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.5+1-0ubuntu1 from 7.04 Feisty).

  See the screenshot attached. I'm using the default theme and fonts at
  the resolution of 1024x768. The mouse pointer doesn't appear in the
  screenshot; it was just pointing to the selected entry.

  
  Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open Firefox.

  2. In the search bar, select the Google search engine icon and type in
  a common word that is not too short.

  3. A drop-down list from Google Suggest appears which contains several
  indistinguishable suggestions, because for each suggestion, only the
  first word is displayed, and the rest is replaced with an ellipsis
  (...) because of the shortage of horizontal space. You can only see
  the full suggestions as tool-tips, which is poor usability for the
  Suggest feature.

  
  Expected behavior:

  Make the drop-down list wider to accommodate its content as necessary.
