Why zooming in Windows 7 changed also the font size in Firefox?

I have win7 and I tried to change the text/icon size from the windows to 125%. It also affected everything in firefox (text in tabs, address bar etc., not the text on the pages which you can change with ctrl +/-).I changed it back to 100% and everything became really tiny. How can I make it standard size no matter what zoom I use in windows itself.
Have you had experience from this kind of problem before?
Sincerely
Antti

I just had the VERY same experience, also caused by the Win 7 font size change, which was subsequently restored to its original settings, and here, too, only FF 11 was affected by the change...
I'm reluctant to add yet another add-on. Are there no settings in the about:config page that can be changed to control this?
Following an advice on this forum, I tried changing the following on the about:config --
layout.css.devPixelsPerPx
from 1.0 to larger. This changes the spacing of the *areas* of the tool-bars and the Bookmarks column, but not the font size. Is there no settings that controls font size???

  • Auto numbering changes when the font size changes

    Help.
    I get files made in InDesign CS4 that have paragraph styles assigned to create numbered lists within the body. They are fine as they are when they are opened.
    When I make changes they often- not always- change to 'continue from previous number' instead of staying 'start at 1'. The changes I have make are to change the document size, the font size and the margins.
    Is there something I am doing that allows them to change, or is there something that I can do to keep them from changing?

    Hi,
    Your doubt is not yet clear.
    I think u have not used smartstyles just changed the Font.
    To Test it if data is not coming from driver program,then just excute the smartform-(Press F8) .
    The Print Page will be seen to you.
    Accordingly you can undrstand whether it is decreased or not.

  • I cannot change the font size on firefox. Works on other browsers but not on FF and writing is too small. Ctl+ works but its a nuisance each time

    Have windows 7 but even on Vista the fonts on FF are too small and I cannot change the size.

    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

  • How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the Bookmarks Library?

    How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the '''Bookmarks''' Library?
    Since the upgrade to version 9.0.1 of Firefox, the Bookmarks feature changes are confusing me. They seem to be confusing themselves as well. The list of bookmarks has changed. The font size is so small that my aging eyes cannot read it without fogging the screen with my breath. Some folders are out of alphabetical order (where I know they were previously good), and some are missing altogether (folders to which I frequently add references).
    As for missing or deranged files or folders, was there something that I should have done or now need to do to recover those after the upgrade (or before)?
    With regard to font size,
    1. there is no “Edit Bookmarks” or like option to edit the list in this version
    2. the “zoom” option in the “view” list of functions is greyed out when in “Show All Bookmarks” window
    3. expanding the browser window has no effect on font size
    4. “Preferences” settings for font size has no effect in that window either, including advanced settings
    5. “Help” offers none that I can find.
    Can any of you Help?!?

    Maybe this extension helps:

  • Cannot change the font size of presentation title

    Hi there,
    After I published a PPT with Presenter, I found that the presentation titile was too long to show the whole name, the last few words was lost. I tried to change font size smaller in "Theme Editor", but it can only change the font size in Notes. Is there any way we can change font/font size for outline pane (index) and presentation title (I mean the title on the top of the index, not slide title)?
    Thanks!

    thanks, Mahesh.
    I tried your method, but it still cannot work, there is no changes on the font size (see screenshot below). It's a Japanese presentation, does it matter?
    Can the height of the top area be changed in order to show all title name?

  • Why does the font size change unexpectedly when I use the touchpad with my new HP laptop with Windows 8?

    Frequently the font size will change when the touchpad is touched. This is annoying! Is there a setting adjustment I can make to keep this from happening?

    This is very experimental, but since no one else has replied...
    I'm not sure which computers are affected, but Firefox has some support for touchpad "gestures" on multi-touch touchpads. Most of the ones that affect the zoom level of the page are the "pinching" gestures, like a smartphone screen. However, it seems that by default a "tap" will reset the zoom level, and that might be the problem here.
    Could you try this?
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''gest''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click '''browser.gesture.tap''' and change it to... I'm not sure whether there is a command for "do nothing" but you could try typing or pasting in '''cmd_selectNone''' which cancels the current text selection in the page (if any).

  • I like the mail feature with one exception; I cannot figure out how to change the font size of incoming mail permanently.  And, when answering an email I have to highlight the first few words and zoom it so I can see what I am writing.  what am I missing?

    I like the mail feature with one exception; I cannot figure out how to change the font size of incoming mail permanently.  And, when answering an email I have to highlight the first few words and zoom it so I can see what I am writing.  what am I missing?

    You can type the email using what you set in preferences and then highlight the text and use command - minus sign (or command - + for larger) to reduce the size of the text.
    You can also type command - T and a window will appear allowing you to select fonts/sizes/color/ background highlight.
    The above works in Notes also. I haven't tried to do this in any other Apple application.
    For incoming emails, you can use the above to reduce font size, but I don't know of a way to permanently set the incoming font size to a default.

    Why Acrobat x professional is changing the text formatting specifically the font family  and the font size of the text in my pdf on exporting it to Microsoft word file format ?How should i stop Acrobat x professional from doing that so that i get an exactly same word file on exporting it from its pdf counterpart?

    I was testing the preciseness & efficiency of Adobe acrobat x professional's doc conversion capabilities. As i have to take a document editing project in future which is going to need lot of pdf to word and vice versa conversions . What I did was I created a test word document converted into a pdf using a pdf maker in my word 2007 , Acrobat did convert the document from word to pdf keeping everything in the source file intact , However when i tried the other way round and attempted to convert the same pdf to word 2007 file format I lost my formatting ?So the font that I used to create the pdf are the ones taken from word 2007 which i believe is using the fonts that are installed in my computer. Any suggestions on how to preserve the formatting of the document after converting it from pdf to word file format?
    Regards

  • Why does the mouse change the font size on my lap top?

    When browsing on my lap top, I mistakenly change the font size with the integrated mouse on the computer. This is not a problem when using the external mouse. I notice that expolorer typically has the screen size displayed in the lower right hand corner. I need to know how to avoid this problem. Thanks!

    If you press the Ctrl key while using the mouse wheel then you change the page zoom.
    Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: <b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

  • Change the Font (size etc..) on the Right-Window(Text)

    Hallo Experts,
    I have following problem with JavaHelp 1.1:
    It is possible to change the Font (Menu/Options/Set Font...), but
    it effects only the left-Window(TOC).
    I want to change the Font (size etc..) on the Right-Window (Text) - because
    JavaHelp shows the Font Arial/10/Plan not in the real size - it seems - is not greater then Arial 7 or 8.
    Who can give me a tip - Thanks a lot
    Charanjeet S. Gill
    Thanking you in Advance

    Well, I haven't tried it, but seeing as the text on the right hand side is just HTML pages, I guess yu can just write your HTML using <font>, <size>, <color>, etc. tags. Let me know if it works

  • Why have the font sizes in my existing emails suddenly changed from uniform to mixed?

    All of a sudden the font sizes in my existing emails have changed from the same size to different sizes -- some larger, some smaller. Also, in some cases the font has changed from normal to bold. I used to be able to solve this problem when it happened before by closing and reopening TB, but that doesn't work anymore. I haven't made any changes to the font settings. Any suggestions?

    probably related to the original ISSUE. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1007786#answer-597502

  • Is there any way to change the font size of the text in the Finder Sidebar?

    This may sound like a bit of a dorky question but here goes nothing...
    I am rather near-sighted and in need of new glasses but I am stuck in a holding pattern until I can get a referral to see my eye doctor. Anyway... I have found myself using the Zoom features far more often and increasing the font size in the Finder for the Item Names & Info.
    The problem that I am facing now, is that the font size of the text in the sidebar is FAR SMALLER than the font size of the text of the actual file names & info.
    +*IS THERE ANY WAY TO INCREASE THE FONT SIZE OF THE TEXT IN THE SIDEBAR??*+
    So far I have looked in:
    *The Finder Preferences
    *The Desktop Preference Pane
    *The Appearance Preference Pane
    *The Seeing Tab of the Universal Access Preference Pane
    And to add to my frustration I have also searched the Mac OS X Help AND all of the posts in this thread (back to 1/1/09) that had the word "sidebar" mentioned in them!!
    +*DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY OTHER IDEAS?? OR IS THIS ONE AREA THAT I AM OUT OF LUCK BECAUSE APPLE DIDN'T FORESEE THIS ISSUE??*+
    Usually, Apple is really very good about foreseeing any possible trouble (ESPECIALLY when it comes to the area of Accessibility for people w/ disabilities!!)
    I do hope that SOMEBODY can help me on this one!!
    Also, I noticed that the size of the text that is on the Toolbar is also the same ITSY BITSY font size as the text on the sidebar, but I am guessing that there is next to nothing that can be done about that!!
    Thanks a Million!!

  • Mavericks After Upgrading to 10.9.2 the font size in the address/seach bar has changed to be small.

    After upgrading to Mavericks 10.9.2 the text in the address/seach bar on Safari is a lot smaller.  This is not a screen resolution issue. The fonts in Finder are larger than they were before anoying fix for this would also be nice. It is also not a screen resolution issue.
    I really do not know what Apple are doing with quality control with Mavericks.   The 3 month GMAIL problems have not been fixed with this upgrade and you also have a lot of font size changes accross you whole machine, within mail, finder and safari.
    Any help appreciated.

    Message to Apple: 
    Mavericks reminds me of all the old problems I had with Windows before I moved to Mac. Prior to Mavericks upgrades would not change screen resolutions, Font sizes etc.   The GMAIL issue has not been fixed.
    It is inconceivable to me that you could release this product which does not support basic mail functionality for one of the largest email services on the internet ie. GMAIL and then take 3-4 months and still not fixed with the 10.9.2 upgrade. What are you guys doing. The loss of productivity for people is beyond comprehension.
    Can we please get a fix for GMAIL in Mavericks that actually works.
