[Dragtotab] Search box resizer

My first guess is that Firefox is persisting the resize box's size 
information inside the "localstore.rdf" file. I'm not aware of the 
conditions under which Firefox chooses to do this. You can check whether 
this guess is true by making a backup copy of your "localstore.rdf" file 
which is found in your settings directory (same place as your 
"user_prefs.js" file), and then deleting the original. All your toolbar 
customizations and window positions will be reset. Then launch Firefox again 
and see if the resizer works anymore. If it still doesn't work, then replace 
the "localstore.rdf" file with your backed-up copy. I'm guessing here that 
there is an entry called "chrome://browser/content/browser.xul#searchbar" 
inside your "localstore.rdf" file that is created automatically by Firefox 
and has a saved "width=" value in there somewhere.
