I am having some weird line-heigh in many elements in wp admin. Many input fields as well as many span fields are behaving strangely. And the cursor also became very short. These are my sreenshot. (sorry this is a localhost test, so i don't provide the url) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13210905/Screenshot%20from%202012-08-02%2005%3A47%3A51.png http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13210905/Screenshot%20from%202012-08-02%2005%3A48%3A13.png

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

  • View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a (too) high value can cause issues.

  • Edit > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)

Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.

  • Edit > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

This can also be a problem with the font that is used to display the text.
You can use this extension to see which fonts are used for selected text.

Well, actually I think this is more likely a bug, but I still hope that there will a way to solve this problem. So I ask. Firefox 13 and below work perfectly. But Firefox 14 and 15 beta, I found this weird height when working in the wordpress admin area. You can see in the screenshot here that one input fields has a lower height than the other on the right. Moreover I have checked a completely new firefox profile with (firefox -p) and it is still the same. I have even install log out of my session and re logged in in gnome shell session, but everything doesn't seem to improve. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13210905/Screenshot%20from%202012-08-02%2005%3A47%3A51.png
