Same html file viewed locally on laptop appears different from same file uploaded to server why?
I create an html file locally with CSS style sheets, etc. I view it locally and it looks the way it's intended, when I upload it and view it from a domain on a server, same files look bigger. That includes images, fonts, etc. I've even tried to reset firefox to no avail, but since it's the same file, I'm just viewing it locally and online, there should be no reason for such differences. OS is Vista Home Premium, Mozilla Firefox 3.6.13.

Cor-el, thank you for the attempt, but if you read above, I said I ALREADY RESET firefox, yes, I looked at the documentation in the browser help section online and went through EVERY reset listed, plus any I could find on my own poking around the browser itself. But I do thank you for your time in posting. Issue is STILL NOT RESOLVED though. And yeah, just in case, I even did what you suggested AGAIN.
OK, after two days of googling, I think I might have found my own answer. It seems that resetting zoom DOES NOT overide a user's accidental use of <ctrl>- and <ctrl>+, something that developers might want to check into. I REPEATEDLY tried to reset zoom for the page, which did NOTHING. Finally, after stumbling upon http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=428&t=378606 I used <ctrl>- and then reset zoom, and now the page looks the same locally and online. Since <ctrl> is so close to <shift>, ESPECIALLY onlaptops, it's easy to see how someone could accidentally hit <ctrl>- INSTEAD of <shift>- while typing a URL into the browser window, which will cause this little nightmare I faced. So for the Devs, might want to consider programming reset zoom to also cancel out any <ctrl>- <ctrl>+ settings.
I am not seeing anything unexpected on my own PC. (XP pro sp2; ff3.6.13)
Whether I use the menu bar or the keyboard, the screen changes back to the default size when I reset it, and I can reset using the keyboard or the menubar. I also checked both control keys work.
I was talking about View, Zoom, Reset, it does not seem to over ride any <ctrl>- <ctrl>+ used on, at least, windows vista, my OS. I was not able to fix my problem, with this OS, until I actually hit <ctrl>- and then View-Zoom-Reset. Now, all of a sudden, the page looks the same from my local files as it does with the online files, something that was NOT happening before I did this. I deduce, that obviously, since I never intended to use the <ctrl> +/- functions, that somewhere along the way I accidentally hit <ctrl> instead of <shift> in the browser, which caused the setting to begin with. Hence why I suggest that the devs look into this, else it could be quite a nightmare because shift and control keys are so close together.
