latest beta thunderbird : 141.0b1 : update has altered some fonts
Installed latest beta....updating from the prior version Font size in folder list has changed....Font in subject and correspondents remains unaltered
This change was immediate. No input from me. My preferred font sizes remain the same as used for the past several months in the beta
Troubleshooting steps do not 'fix' etc
Reboot and/or exit T'bird and restart shows no change

I found the problem
The 'Density' switch had been altered from Default to Compact
I will make due allowance that this may have been self inflicted, but I have serious doubts that happened.
Density can be found by clicking the three horizontal bars in top right hand corner... Density is a few names down the list... three choices there between compact, default and relaxed.
The answer found at : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1360794 ....is worth a try....but the density needs to be checked FIRST.
