zoom error in addons/ extensions and toolbar

more options

when we set the default zoom some percentage e.g. 80% in settings> the zoom level of the toolbar/ addons/ extensions is not set to 80% also there is no option to set the zoom for particular sections such as zoom for the system toolbar, pages, side menu, address bar. The main issue is when the default is decreased> the zoom in the addons/ extensions remains still at 100% which pop-ups on the screen and the addons/ extensions settings cannot be accessed due to zoom in on the panel (it happens when scaling of the windows in set to high percentage such as 130%) so the Firefox zooms in at 130% by default (considering it as 100% in firefox)> and decreasing zoom to 80% (to get 100% zoom from 130% in firefox) so it doesn't work> u understand> what is the solution tell quickly. I have tried to set the compatibility Troubleshoot and override the system Scaling in Program settings. It also doesn't work. Tell me the solution soon.

Okay, here's something to try. Please be very careful with your typing on this change because recovering from a typo is a lot of extra work.

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.

More info on about:config: Configuration Editor for Firefox. The moderators would like us to remind you that changes made through this back door aren't fully supported and aren't guaranteed to continue working in the future.

(2) In the filter box, type or paste devp and pause while the list is filtered

Firefox should show a single preference named layout.css.devPixelsPerPx with a value of -1.0 indicating that Firefox should follow the system text size,

(3) Double-click the preference to display an editing field, and *carefully* change the value to 0.8 (remove the minus sign so the value is a positive zero point eight) then press Enter or click the blue check mark button to save the change.

Firefox should adjust the size of everything down by 20%. How do the toolbars and add-on panels look?

After that, you probably want to go back to the Settings page and restore the content zoom factor to 100%.
