Thanks... any help would be appreciated!

Please get the firefox to fix their ridiculous little addon options box!
IT NEEDS

TO USE THE WHOLE PAGE.
TO WORK AT ZOOM LESS THAN 100% (Cannot even access the SCROLLBAR INSIDE THE SCROLLBAR, or see the delete buttons, at less than 100%!!!)
TO HAVE ADJUSTABLE FONT SIZE. (To fit things in the stupid box and work on different screens)
SEARCH within the box (how am I going to find a tab 3/4 of the way down?????)
Thanks - in frustration!

Hey for v2 the options page will be a whole new page instead of the tiny page inside firefox

Thanks for all your wonderful improvements in v2. I am so looking forward to your release :)
I do find that after hundreds of tabs are retitled, it stops working so well, so I am looking forward to spring cleaning in a full page.

Hi Lazyuki I hope you're well and happy!
Is there anywhere to download your V2 as it is so far?
I would be very happy with an update of what you've done so far! This issue especially...

Would you consider an interim update with just this fix? I realise you are busy! :)
$100 donation from me when you do!

MY INTERIM WORKAROUND FOR FELLOW SUFFERERS:

screenshot the box with faststone scrolling screenshot (107894 px long; it scrunched a lot of lines but luckily not the line containing the retitle I'm looking for) [note: Firefox blocks native and add-ons screenshots of this page, it has to be an outside app]
convert to PDF - faststone tools (-> 102 pages for mine)
OCR PDF in paperport
Search the PDF for that retitle rule that is renaming random tabs, by name of the retitle (it was attached to "about blank" URL in my list, you CAN'T rename "about:blank! And I don't know why this was re-naming all tabs created by Firefox "open image in new tab", which had different titles)
Use the scrollbar position to narrow the location in the stupid FF options box.
while scrolling in the stupid FF options box, search the PDF for titles appearing in the box and watch the movement in the PDF scrollbar to check how far above/below your target you are.
manually find the retitle and delete or edit it.
