Is firefox working on any adaptive display technique? At 1920x1080 most websites were unreadable.

Zooming helps, but no longer websites look better.

Can firefox's particular tab match itself to that websites max resolution?

You can modify the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx and increase or decrease the value in 0.1 or 0.05 steps to adjust the size of fonts and other elements in Firefox.

  • The layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref is a String value parsed to a float and allows to fine tune the dimensions of all elements (user interface and web pages) more precisely (resolution 0.1 or 0.05).
  • You can use values between 0.05 and 1.0 to reduce elements in size or use values greater than 1.0 to magnify and make elements larger (percentage divided by DPI, % / DPI).

If the web pages needs to be adjusted after changing this pref then you can look at Default FullZoom Level or NoSquint.

hello, firefox 22 should adapt, if you change the size of text/all items in the display section of the windows control panel.
