Will Firefox ever fix the page display they broke w/ version22 or should I just uninstall and use another browser?

Pages display is too large for the screen. They blame me for the dpi setting on my pc, yet resetting to the default setting does not fix the problem.

As I understand it, the philosophy behind the changes in Firefox 22 were to apply your Windows text size of 150% to web pages, on the theory that you probably would want that. This doesn't work for everyone.

If the user interface text is a good size, then try this extension to adjust the page zoom level. You can still fine-tune zoom on pages using Ctrl+ and Ctrl- but this will reduce the numbers of sites you need to adjust.

Default FullZoom Level

To counteract the change, here are examples of some settings to try:

  • Windows text size 125% => set default zoom level to 80%
  • Windows text size 150% => set default zoom level to 67%

Can you find a setting that looks good to you?

Note: If you already have the NoSquint extension, use its global zoom level instead of adding a new add-on.
