Looks like in the interfaces/mozilla.pm, in sub fform, it generates the
HTML for the input form:

<input type="text" class="form-say" name="say" autocomplete="off" 
  onpaste="return pastedata(window.clipboardData.getData('Text',''));" 
> 

Accoring to the stylesheet:
.form-say {
   border: 0;
   width: 90%;
   padding-left: 4px;
}

So to test this, I made a quick HTML:

<html><body>
<div style="width:90%;border:1px solid black">
This div should be 90%
</div>
<input type="text" style="width:90%;border:1px solid black" value="This
field should be 90%">
</body></html>

This seemed to work normal in Firefox.  So I copy/pasted the source
text into an HTML file.  It appears that the width:90% doesn't work
when the tag is inside a <div class="form-form"> block.

.form-form {
   float: left;
}

So I use the EditCSS extension to Firefox and realtime edit the CSS
sheet.  If I comment out float: left, the width:90% works!  But as
expected, the expanding colors bar appears on the next line, rather
than beside the input field.

I toyed around with the HTML and finally got this segment of HTML to
work:
<form name="myform" onSubmit="return cmd();"
style="margin:0;padding:0">
<span id="nickname" class="form-nickname"
style="float:left">nickname</span>
<input type="text" class="form-say" name="say" autocomplete="off"
style="float:left"
  onpaste="return pastedata(window.clipboardData.getData('Text',''));"
>
</form>

Note I had to update the <form>, <span> and <input> tags consecutively.
 Unfortunately, the current setup of the stylesheet is not browser
independant, so this code does not follow the stylesheet the same way
as other browsers should.  Rather than making a surroudning block
(<form>) float:left, I made each tag float:left.

Unfortunately, this isn't perfect.  When I expand the colors bar, the
input width is too wide, causing poor formatting.  Oh well.  It seems
like a Firefox issue, though.

Hope this helps the authors.
