I notice when I am on Facebook or some wiki sites that all the text will randomly shrink. Only the text though, all images and videos remain the same size. Website zoom is confirmed at 100% and my firefox is up to date. The only thing that fixes it is the refresh the page but its temporary.

Did you try to reset the page zoom via "Ctrl+0" (zero) in case something is still stuck ?

Are you using full page zoom or zoom text only ?

  • Options/Preferences -> General -> Language and Appearance -> Zoom

This can be a font issue where a smaller font being used for some reason.

You can right-click and select "Inspect Element" to open the builtin Inspector with this element selected.

You can check in the Rules tab in the right panel in the Inspector what font-family is used for selected text. You can check in the Font tab in the right panel in the Inspector what font is actually used because Firefox might be using a different font than specified by the website.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or userChrome.css is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
