Today there was a firefox update that has enlarged all my toolbar icons unnecessarily: how can I undo this?
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?

Aha! It's OK I found it: never occurred to me to just type in the address bar!
Icons back to normal size now :-) Text has gone a bit small but I think I can play with that.
Thanks once again.

Apparently there was a change for Windows Firefox that changed how the layout works. It copies the resolution for the operating system instead of using its own. This setting in about:config controls it.
layout.css.devPixelsPerPx = -1.0 in my setup, and it works in Mac OS, but apparently not in Windows, so has to be changed to a positive number
There is another setting that controls the resolution and makes it 96 d.p.i. or greater if it is negative.
layout.css.dpi = -1
See this MozillaZine forum thread.

Thanks finitary and cor-el:
This is probably the answer I am looking for but I'm new to configuring Firefox and I can't for the life of me find where these config settings are located. How do I get at "about:config layout.css.devPixelsPerPx" ?
Many thanks for your prompt advice (y)

Thanks: I already found theme and font changer when I was looking for something to change the icons :-)
