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?

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?

After updating to FireFox 22 it had changed the size of my webpages and menus, tabs, and url box. I asked over at mozillaZine forums, and they told me how to change my webpage size by going into config. This worked, however, as i mentioned, i then noticed that my menus, tabs, and url box had become smaller.So now i need to know how to change this as well.

There is a lot of discussion on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=812695 about the right workaround or how to apply it. I'm starting this forum thread to move the discussion.

From the bug the current workarounds are:

• in about:config set gfx.direct2d.disabled to true
• in about:config set gfx.content.azure.backends to cairo instead of direct2D
• Uninstall IE10 and update KB2670838

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.

I am Firefox user since its verson2.

I am using windows 7, Firefox was working correctly but few days back when my system engineer installed Symantec end point protection and domain. My Firefox start freezing very frequently (It is not crashing). But it is too irritating to work now.

I want to use same in future. Please help me to resolve the same.

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.

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

I'm having a problem where every time I start up Firefox Beta and I go to the start screen (with recent pages quicklinks etc)....after I make a selection and attempt to go to a page...either quick link or typed url....all I see is a blank white page for that initial tab. even if I change url addresses after the initial white page on that same tab it just returns a blank white page. the url address bar indicates the page loaded correctly bit its still just blank white.

it is only when I open a new additional tab and enter a url that I can see content on the page. then when I go back to the initial tab that was blank white I now see the content that was hidden...and all I did was open a new tab, go to a url, and switch back to the initial tab. this happens EVERY time I use ff beta. I've tried in uninstalling and reinstalling the app...same behavior. I've tried launching from a desktop url link...same behavior. always I can see the quicklaunch homescreen on startup but when surfing to any link or manually entered url the initial tab sucessfuly navigates to the link but hides the content behind a blank white page. normal function is always restored by opening a new tab and opening a link and then returning to the initial tab which h is now displaying the hidden content...

again this happens every time I launch firefox beta. please help

Whenever I right click anywhere on a page in Firefox the menu shows every options, even stuff out of context, like View Image or Mute, when there is no audio or image. It also shows no spelling suggestions on misspelled words. Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/ttetWpm.png

Real Player Downloader and Real Downloader were blocked a short while ago because of problems it was causing. Has any of that been remedied? I miss the ease of Real Dowmloader.

I've gone through all the suggestions, troubleshooting listed here and nothing has worked in stopping this "hanging" business. It started earlier this week with FF16. So I tried uninstalling, clearing out any traces of it, profiles and all. R-installed with the previous extensions, plugins and scripts. Still did it. So I either disabled or uninstalled said add-ons. Still did it. Upgraded to 17, then 18. Same problem. "Not responding" every couple of minutes for just a few seconds, longer when I switched tabs. I'm a heavy tab user, but given the problem, I've gone down to no more than 3 open at the same time. Still hangs. So I decided to do a complete overhaul. Did a reset. I even thought it was my computer (Vista with SP2) which had been working fine and was slowing down around the same time FF was hanging and being a resource hog.

With FF uninstalled, with the help of Microsoft support, I worked on the laptop. Uninstalled my usual programs, including AV (which had avast). Moved all my files to an external hard drive. In essence leaving my computer with bare bones. Did a defrag and a system restore. I reinstalled av, then ran it. All clear. Ran malwarebytes. All clear. Ran registry clean. All fine. So I reinstalled FF18 and did not use any add-ons. Still hanged. Went up to FF19 beta thinking whatever but there is, would be cured. And it worked fine witn no add-ons. So I started installing my usuals, but leaving only the most important ones, ABP, No Script. Was ok so I added greasemonkey, smartest toolbar, download statusbar and unhide passwors. All which I've used for years with no problems. And FF19 worked fine with no hanging for like a day and a half. Today, (jan 24) not only is it haning and not responding again, but it's doing it more frequently and for longer.

FF never has crashed, it just hangs and freezes. My job is ALL online. I don't like Chrome (not user friendly to me). I'd rather avoid using IE. I'm a user of FF since day one, but this is stressing me out because I cannot do my job properly.

What can I do to make it stop? My only other option is to just forget FF and try and get used to Opera.

Now that I think about it, could this hanging problem be related to the Java issue that has come out publicly recently?

I don't know what else to do. I've tried everything that has been written here. Trust me, I've wasted 2 days on this issue. Time I'll never get back and I could've used to do work.

Thanks

Ive tried defaulting fonts, unchecked all blocked images, reset firefox and removed all mods and still cant display bbc weather maps without getting "sorry, background map image is missing".

eg http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2650225

It used to be fine. Now no matter what I do, it has missing images.

Any fix please?

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?

On starting Firefox today I found a new command bar on my start up page. It appears to be mix.dj V8 community bar, could you lell me how I can remove this as I certainly did not install it. I can disable it from the view command but I have no idea what this is.
