win7 FF 4 won't display a web dialogue box but linux FF 4 can
When trying to remove my listing in www.spokeo.com by selecting "privacy" at the bottom, the resulting page only displays the advert BUT NOT the box for entry of the url of the listing page, email addr & graphics verification thing.
This is with FF 4.0 in win7; however, openSUSE linux 11.4 & FF4.0 is able to display the dialogue box for entry of needed info for the removal of the listing page.
In win7, I had to use IE to go thru the process of removing my info from spokeo for all to see.
The url is www.spokeo.com/privacy

Got on the laptop that has win7 & a partial display of the data area was displayed. Decided to change the font sizing & that did the work in showing everything; also tried the not allow webpage to use it fonts but my own & that also worked.
Guess the problem is sort of solved by a work-around. Still, FF 4.0 does have a problem in displaying fonts & doing sizing of a webpage.
I do see some overlap of lines/letters at times because I had increased the font sizes so I can see the "printed" words. A huge problem for us with poor eyesight.
It is better to use full page zoom than increasing the minimum font size. Using the latter can cause problems as you have noticed.
You can use one of these extensions to adjust the default font size and page zoom on web pages:
- Default FullZoom Level - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/6965
- NoSquint - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2592

Thanks very much. Now using NoSquint.
Interesting that the author of FullZoom Level made a note that it was recommended that NoSquint be used instead!?!
Also found that NoSquint works with FF 4 in opensuse linux.
Probably should be a recommended addon install status.
