Wikpedia font too small?? [FIXED]
I noticed that the displayed font or more correctly the typeface on some websites like wikipedia is broken by being very small. The version of Firefox I'm using is 56.0.2 on Win10. Chrome and Edge do not have this problem. Disabling all extensions and plugins does not help.
I think this issue has been around for the last few versions. Has anyone else have this problem?

Thanks for the replies. It wasn't the zoom or not allowing pages to choose their fonts/sizes but -
I had changed the default font size to 12 back to the default 16 and the font size now looks similar to other browsers.
I haven't used FF as my primary browser in a while so I forgot what exactly were some of my post installation settings.

Hi !
What if you try this :
3-bar menu (or 'Tools') => Options => General => Language and Appearance - under 'Fonts & Colors' => Advanced : uncheck 'Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above'
Does that make a difference ?
You may have accidentally zoomed web page(s). Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.
- View -> Zoom -> Reset (Ctrl+0/Command+0 (zero))

Note that it is usually better to zoom a web page because increasing the default or minimum font size can lead to issues on pages that use absolute positioning.
You can look at Zoom Page WE and NoSquint Plus extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.
