Hello,

I constantly face some errors during my websurf in FF. After let's say 20 pages surfed I get some errors like a broken webcode on reddit as I click on thread it should open in a new window (enabled in reddit settings), but it just opens the link. Also, I get a big white stripe above the thread list. I reopen the browser and it works fine to a certain moment.

Same thing with Twitch.tv. After a couple of pages surfed I go to twitch and I'll get a black window, but the chat loads just fine. If I close and open FF it will be fine to a certain moment of surfing again.

Again same thing with streamtip.com. It says that JavaScript is not enabled.

Another thing is related to steam inventory. After clicking on couple of items in my inventory prices at the bottom will stop loading.

Final thing is why when I push CTRL+0 it gives me page in 120-140% zoom? And new pages (which I've never visited before) load in that 120-140% zoom as well. Resolution is 1920x1080.

Looking forward to hearing from you. I really appreciate your help.

Thanks!

Added pictures. Again, If I exit and then enter the FF it will work normally again for a certain period of time.

Try to set layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 1.0 (default is -1) on the about:config page. You can adjust its value in 0.1 or 0.05 steps (1.1 or 0.9) until icons or text looks right.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) that can block content (e.g. Adblock Plus, NoScript, Flash Block, Ghostery) then make sure that such extensions do not block content. There is security software that can interfere with loading content, so check that as well.

Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support to see if that has effect in case security software is causing problems.
