So a lot of pages are loading really slow like minutes, like youtube and hot.ee mail service and a lot more. It started to happen when i updated to 20.0. Looked up some suggestions and found that about:config network.http.keep-alive to false help. And so i did it and it worked, but next time i opened firefox again it was slow loading again, but keep-alive is false still, disabled all not nessecary plugins and extensions and i dont seem to find a solution. Been a firefox user for a long time and dont want to change my browser.

I was lissening to online radio. Firefox needed to update. After the latest update the windows media player plugin dissapeared from the add-on list, while still being installed correct. I reinstalled it, but that didn't work. I replaced/deleted some files in firefox as suggested for similiar problems, but that didn't work either. Now I can't play wmp files anymore on firefox.

I hope u can help me solve this problem.

How do I set the default font size to a lower value?

I recently got the Firefox 22.0 build 20130514181517 update (at the same time as a Windows 7 update, I might add) and since then the default font sizes on all websites have been enlarged. I have a 17" monitor, but due to the grossly overscaled fonts it seems more like an old 14", and it's quite irritating. To view the websites in approximately the old way they used to look, I have to zoom out twice, but it also means I have to do it on all sites. I also have the habit of accidentally zooming in or out while using my laptop's touchpad, so whenever I ctrl-0 to reset the font, it goes back to the large font, and I need to rezoom it again.

I am primarily trying to figure out if there is a way to reset the font size without using any add-ons.

Thanks

Yesterday all of a sudden my webpages and UI appeared to be magnified. While I can zoom out on websites, I cannot find any option to adjust the size of the UI.

I noticed that Firefox 22 (which I am running) has a new feature: "Windows: Firefox now follows display scaling options to render text larger on high-res displays". Is it possible to adjust how Firefox responds to the display scaling options perhaps?

I have limited screen space, and use Nav Bar on Title Bar, and small icons, to reduce clutter as much as possible. Today there was a Firefox update, which seems to have increased the size of all icons, so that my 'small' icons are nearly as big as the normal sized ones used to be; thus both wasting vertical space and reducing the number of buttons I can get on a toolbar, and the amount of a URL that will fit in the address box. How can I restore all icons back to their original sizes?

Hi,

Started up Firefox and the text in the main window was bigger than yesterday, there is now a scroll bar at the bottom for me to mover left and right to see all the screen. Zoom is already reset so CTRL+0 does nothing. Zooming back out to make the page look better only works for that page.

A complete re-installation of Firefox didn't work also.

I rolled back System Restore and Firefox looked fine again until I realised that I didn't have any search engines installed. So I reinstalled Firefox over the old (Choose Upgrade) and the big text problem came back.

I have been using Weebly recently, not sure if that is a coincidence or not, maybe I have messed something up whilst editing?

XP itself seems fine though, maybe this is a Font problem? Not sure. :P

Thanks.

Apparently pushed the wrong "Download" button. Now instead of my homepage (which I have reset), when I open Firefox the "search.conduit.com" page opens. I used the "about:config" procedure several times but it didn't work. There is nothing listed on "add/remove" that is related. Also scanned with Ad-aware, Super AntiSpyware and Norton 360. How do I clean search.conduit out of my browser?

I'm not sure when this started, but I've only just noticed it. The Firefox app icon in my dock has it's name spelled backwards (i.e. xoferiF). It appears normally in mission control and the applications folder but backwards on the dock. I've restarted it over and over but it stays the same. Obviously this is only a minor bug and is not affecting the app's performance in any way, but it's just wierd. I can provide a screenshot if necessary.

I've been trying Linux Mint out for about 4 months. Firefox was the default browser at install, and has been the only browser I've used from day one. When I click the "Open A New Tab" button it goes to this site (DO NOT GO HERE!) http://www.cherchi.biz/ . This is a phishing site. It claims to be a google related site, but it is not. I have tried to change this in about:config, but it will not go away. Nothing I have tried works to get rid of this garbage. I even went as far as to install anti virus to try to get rid of it. Reinstalling Firefox does not fix the issue either. I will be very greatful for some help on this. (NOTE) I have tried other forums to get help on this issue. People have asked to remote to my system to help me. Please do not ask to remote to my system. The answer will be NO.

Recently the audio from www.oneplace.com comes through with intermittent sound. The sentences are complete overall, but with brief interruptions while using my main Firefox browser. When I switch browsers to I.E. on the same computer, the sound is normal all the way through. This has gone on for a month or so. As far as I can tell I have the up to date addons, but the problem persists. Any ideas where this problem lies? Thank you. Carlisle F. Boykin-
