Firefox is wayyyy too big. - TheSmartGuy - 2009-09-16
I recently installed Firefox into my new computer, which runs Windows Vista. When I open Firefox, all web pages are displayed nearly twice as big as they should be and the toolbars at top take up nearly a sixth of the screen. It looks like Firefox is purposely trying to fill my entire screen or something. I searched the problem up and the help page told me to change go to about:config and change "layout.css.dpi" to 96. When I did, everything became way too small, especially the webpages: they were nearly half the size they should be. Anyways, there no freaking chance that I'm going to uninstall Vista, so I was wondering if anyone knew and would be able to find the solution to this problem. Because right now, Southperry looks HUGE, and it's totally ridiculous.
P.S. Everything else is normal sized, including IE. And I've set my resolution to make things as small as possible.

Sure it's not your resolution or something?

Actually, I've set my resolution to the highest possible. Which is why this is pissing me off. As for SekushiKun's suggestion, well, I can't just scroll +/- for every single website. There has to be an actual fix somewhere.

Why not just fiddle with that number until it's right?

How about using chrome, or another navigator?

I tried. It was either super huge or super small.
Fortunately, I finally fixed this problem an hour or so ago. Turns out, it was a problem with my font settings.
Soo... I guess I don't need any more solutions.

What did you set your font or other settings to?
Thanks!

Well, I didn't do it. My dad did. I guess that's not the point, though. Vista was set at extra large font, I think. I couldn't tell it was a font problem immediately because my resolution was so high.
