Fonts in graphs don't scale using firefox with Win 8

Using Win 8.1 and Mozilla Firefox, when I go to Yahoo finance to look at a stock graph, everything scales except the graph's labels for the axes. As an example, go to Yahoo finance (Yahoo.finance.com), click on Nasdaq (or any other), then under the graph on the top right click on 5d (or 1m or whatever). The graph will display correctly but the x-y axes labels are too small to read.
So far only IE has worked well with Win 8 after having adjusted zooms and fonts. Firefox had been my browser of choice. Please help me achieve this.

Sorry for the delayed response. Yes, there are other software with the same issue. Kaspersky, on-line Civilization (I don't play, but I downloaded it as an offer), and, yes, Adobe reader.
My guess is that Microsoft let go of the standard monitor pixel sizes (e.g. 768X1280 or whatever...) because there are so many different high density pixel screens (mine's about 1800X3200). Programs either choose to control the pixel density or it becomes an unknown variable dependent on each computer's screen resolution setup. For example, if I decreased the resolution to the 768x1280 setting, I could actually see a full screen Civilization window. In high resolution settings, it was a small box with microscopic letters.
If you get into the details of Firefox, there is a whole set of defined settings (see earlier in thread about "layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref on the about:config"). While I like learning, sometimes knowing a thousand different settings is not the way I want to work on my computer. And none of it comes with definitions. I don't want to be a proud firefox web browser certified technician. But I appreciate firefox and am glad someone there does understand it. Actually, it would be fun.
Back to my issue with the yahoo finance and firefox, it is more confusing because most of the webpage is normal sized while some of the inner graph fonts are microscopic. Changing the screen resolution has no effect on it. Playing with the screen resolution changed the sharpness of the firefox fonts. Right now it's fuzzy and I'm uncertain it will sharpen when I restart my computer.
So, in short, I don't have a clue.

  • How do I enlarge the font in my email program when using Firefox?

    I started using Firefox with my new computer two months ago. The font size in my webmail (Frontier--affiliated with Yahoo) was very small and just got smaller a few days ago. It is LESS than 8 -- it looks like legal notices type in the newspaper --barely readable. I have Windows 7 display setting at 120% but changing this makes NO difference in the email lists. The font is still a "normal", readable size in IE but I much prefer Firefox! I have done a live chat with Frontier support and they insist nothing has changed in the webmail program.

    You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

  • New to using Firefox with MAC: How does one save a single jpeg image from the web (as in a right click on a pc?)

    New to using Firefox with MAC: How does one save a single jpeg from the internet, similar to using the right mouse click on a pc?

    If your question comes about because you have a single button mouse, it's time to visit your local computer store and get a ''real'' mouse for that MAC. I don't "get" Apple, they sell their hardware for almost twice what a comparable PC would sell for - and then they leave out what is probably the most important time saving control, the right-button.
    See this for setting the hidden pref for context menus in Firefox, for Mac's.

    type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter
    Pref Name = '''ui.click_hold_context_menus'''

  • I am not able to use Firefox with Sharepoint - I can only open a file in read-only mode and cannot checkout the document and edit.

    I would like to use Firefox with Sharepoint.
    However, I am only able to open a file in "read only" mode whch means I cannot edit the document and save it. I am also not able to "check-out" a document in Sharepoint and edit it at the same time.

    This may not work for everyone, but I solved this problem by clicking on the file name in sharepoint, not the document icon to the left of the name. This then brought up the various options, including checking out, editing, version history etc. It seems obvious but I have only just realised this!

  • When i use firefox with mafia wars none of the pictures display - i think i hit a hide picture button?

    using mafia wars, it does not show any of the pictures only the words so it makes it difficult to know where to click. mafia works fine when i open in chrome - so it is something i did while using firefox.

    With the site on display, click on the site identity button (for details on what that is see [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button]) and then on More Information. This will open up the page info dialog.
    First select the Permissions panel, make sure that "Load Images" is set to allow (selecting Use Default should also work)
    Next select the Media panel, then click on the first item in the list. Use the down arrow key to scroll through the list. If any item has the option "Block images from (domain name)" selected, de-select the option.
    This should hopefully resolve your issue, but also see [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Images+or+animations+do+not+show].
    Some add-ons can also block images, for example if you have AdBlock Plus installed, make sure that you have not accidentally created a filter to block the images.

  • Flash player does not work with Ie or Firefox with win 8.1?

    Flash player does not work with Ie or Firefox with win 8.1 64, If i try and play a video I get the message to install Flashplayer.
    If I try and install it it says it is already installed. Your onsite  installer says it is not applicable to my machine.
    I have followed all the normal steps re enabling addons and active filters etc.
    all to no avail Pc is Dell 6 months old, Flashplayer has never worked on this machine. Last MS update mid Dec 2014.
    Version of flashplayer is 15....03.......

    Flash Player is a built-in component of Internet Explorer.  There's nothing separate to download or install.
    Firefox requires a different version of Flash Player (the NPAPI plug-in), which will be served to you if you go here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer using Firefox; however, there are some unique stability issues related to Firefox on Win8.1, and you're probably better off using Google Chrome if you want a more optimal experience with Flash Player.
    For problems where IE isn't being detected by sites that require Flash:
    First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
    https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
    Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
    You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

  • How do I open a png file using firefox with windows 7

    In Windows XP I could save an image in the png format then open it using firefox, copy and paste it into an excel spreadsheet. However I can't do this in Windows 7. Has anybody else encountered this problem and found a solution?
    Kind regards

    Hi there,
    Could you describe your workflow and what happens? If you mean that double-clicking on a .png file in a normal folder (Explorer) window doesn't launch it in Firefox, which application is launched when you click it? If you want to make Firefox the default application to handle .png files, you need to change these settings in Windows 7. Unfortunately I don't have it myself (running a Mac here) so I don't remember the exact instructions. But I'm sure you could right-click on a .png file and select "Open With..." and from there manually pick Firefox. Try that and see if you get the results you want!
    Cheers,
    David

  • Compared to google chrome, when using firefox with fb, it is choppy and so slow to load new tabs and general info. Google is by far superior wish you could make ff the equal as I use both simultaneously

    I use google chrome and firefox at the same time, logged on to different accounts in fb, google chrome functions smoothly, opening new windows or tabs or even just loading is quicker, firefox fills like it is working to hard, like pulling teeth, new tabs are slow to open, new windows are slower, just loading fb is slower, the whole experience is extremely choppy. Even when just using firefox alone, it is extremely choppy, not really sure how to explain it. It used to be the equivalent to goggle chrome and my browser of choice.

    It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

  • Why do I get random BSOD when using Firefox with windows XP pro 32 bit? Seems to happen since system updates on 01/09/13.

    I am using Chrome to write this and no crashes. I have defragged with the system defrager and Defragler both. I bought new memory but this issue happened a couple days after install around the time of some microsoft updates 01/09/13. I have run Memtest and a hard drive test as well, done a power cycle and run a disk cleaner. This only happens when using Firefox.

  • I am having problems using Firefox with Ebay in the last 10 days. The advanced search link is dropping off the page and there is no way to access it now.

    I have been using Firefox and Ebay for at least 12 years with no problems whatsoever. But in the last 10 days I have been having trouble with the Advanced Search link disappearing from the page on Ebay. If I do a search from the Ebay home page it will show the results, but the Advanced Search link (in blue letters) which always used to appear to the right of the Search button is gone. If I click Search again at this point I can see the Advanced Search link appear for a millisecond, but then disappear just as quickly. Also, if I refresh the page the same thing happens. I tried to duplicate this problem with Internment Explorer and it didn't occur, so it appears to be Firefox that is causing this issue. Of course when I contacted Ebay they told me my problem was that I wasn't using Internment Explorer! I love Firefox and do not want to switch!

    You can try to clear the cache and cookies to see if that makes a difference:
    <h3>Clearing Cache</h3>
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    <h3>Clearing Cookies</h3>
    #Go to Firefox > Tools > Privacy > Remove Individual Cookies
    #Find the site (ebay.com) that's having problems and clear all cookies.
    #Restart Firefox
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

  • I am receiving pop up alerts when opening and using firefox stating "win 7 total security 2011 has blocked a program" is this a virus and how can i fix it?

    Whenever I open or use Firefox I'm receiving a pop up message telling me I am under attack and my info is at risk and I am being prompted to activate "win 7 2011 total security" to remove the threat.
    I have run my own virus scan and nothing is detected.
    Is this legitimate from Firefox?
    If not, how do I safely remove the threat?

    "win 7 2011 total security" is a rogue application. For details on it see http://www.2-viruses.com/remove-win-7-total-security
    To ensure your computer is clean try running several malware scanners. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:

  • Since I updated to Firefox 8 on Mac OSX 10.4.11, Firefox will not open anymore (not even previous versions downloaded via Safari). I get the error message 'You cannot use Firefox with this version of Mac OSX' (translated from Dutch).

    I have tried creating a new profile, problem remains the same.
    None of the 3 accounts on this desktop can use Firefox anymore. This has never been a problem. Today (14.11.11) I updated Firefox to 8, and nothing anymore. Via Safari I downloaded Firefox 7 to reinstall, same error message.

  • Anyway I can continue to use Firefox with my MAC OS X 10.4.11 system?

    I have a MAC OS X 10.4.11 operating system. I am using Firefox 3.6.6. I can't upgrade to Firefox 4 because of my operating system. I have just found that I can't even upgrade to 3.6.22 (the download will not complete itself). Does this mean that in the near future I will not be able to use Firefox securely? Is there any way I can be a secure Firefox user in the future with my OS X 10.4.11 system?
    Thank you

    Firefox 3.6.22 is the latest version available for Mac OSX 10.4 and PPC Macs. <br />

    For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4 / 5 / 6, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 - which is a "community" version based on Firefox. <br />
