Everything is too big on Firefox

When I downloaded Firefox's last update Firefox 22, Last night everything is now so zoomed in and big on this Firefox. Even the buttons seem bigger. I wanted to know how can I reset everything so it will look like the previous update of Firefox ?
Everyweb page I go to I have to zoom out twice just to get it back to its normal size now.
Is there also away to just change the webpage zoom and leave the buttons there current size. My brother likes how big the buttons on firefox it self is but not how far it's zoomed in on web pages.

I really hate this zoom issue and we should stop telling people to go into about:config and play around with the settings of this '''layout.css.devPixelsPerPx'''.
'''This answer is only for Zibarro:
<br><sub>(or people who put too big or too small of a number for layout.css.devPixelsPerPx)</sub>'''
Zibarro, try this. Make sure Firefox is closed, click the Windows Start button, copy and paste this into the search box: %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
Now, open the folder with the name *random letters & numbers*'''.default'''

Choose the one with '''.default''' at the end. Once inside that folder. Look for '''prefs.js'''. Now open Notepad. Move the windows so they are side by side. Drag the '''prefs.js''' file into the Notepad window. Find the '''layout.css.devPixelsPerPx''' setting, change the '''11.0''' to '''1.0''' or '''-1.0'''. Save the file using File > Save in Notepad and close Notepad. Open Firefox and see if the problem is fixed.

  • When you go into sites everything is too big for the pages,including home page

    everything is too big too see on screen

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in compatibility mode.
    You can open the Properties of the Firefox desktop shortcut via the right-click context menu and check the "Compatibility" tab.
    Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.

  • You Tube Player Size Too Big in Firefox by default

    I recently experienced that the You Tube player automatically became large.
    The standard size for YouTube videos seems to have changed from their old standard into the size that used to be halfway between normal and fullscreen.
    That is WAY too big, and it's actually disgusting to look at with 360p and below videos. The vast majority of videos look like crap when they're stretched out.
    There is a new button, "centered player," where the old "large player" button used to be. Clicking on it will center my enormous window, then that button displays "default player," which brings me back to this large, uncentered player.
    This is happening with Firefox, with IE working fine.
    Although I am technically incompetent I tried a few suggestions:
    Remove all cookies
    Hit Ctrl+Shift+K and insert the code below in console:
    document.cookie="VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE=; path=/; domain=.youtube.com";window.location.reload();
    However, I am getting the following messages:
    Use of getAttributeNodeNS() is deprecated. Use getAttributeNS() instead. util-service.jsm:590
    Use of getPreventDefault() is deprecated. Use defaultPrevented instead.
    And it is not working, back to same Large Player….
    Hopefully Mozilla can do something to fix this.
    Thanks!

  • Why has everything gone too big?

    Restarted my 15" Powerbook and although everything seems to be working the actual appearance has got really big and there are black bars at either side of the screen. Have restarted and that hasn't helped and guess I need to restart from the disc and run disk utility? Or is there something really simple that I have missed? Would appreciate any help. Thank you.

    Two possibilities, either you accidently changed your resolution in Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Displays to a non-widescreen resolution, or you setup the Magnify Universal Access feature in Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Universal Access.

  • Pages uploading too big or zoomed in

    Every time I preview a page in the browser it is always zoomed in or too big. Firefox is my default browser so when I zoom out it shows fine but for visitors coming to page for the first time the page will not display the way it's supposed to be. Is there a solution to this bug.

    Thanks for the response Brad, I do have the link its listed below. Its one im currently working on but it does this on all my sites. I always have to zoom out for it to display correctly here is the link:
    www.avalanche.blackmagicgfx.com/
    I tried it in Chrome and IE and it displayed correctly it may just be some kind of firefox settings but I have not tried Safari yet.

  • Desktop is too big for the display

    Some how this morning while on my Mac a display setting or something was changed. If your on the desktop, with all windows closed, the background, icons, dock.....everything is too big for the display. If you move the cursor all the way to left it will 'slide' the desktop in that direction. Move it all the way to the right edge of the display and it 'slides' the desktop to the right until you reach the edge. Also the same for the up or down directions.
    At first I thought it had something to do with the multi-touch track pad, but I don't think so. I have checked all the display settings I can think of and have tried re-sizing the desktop to all other settings in an attempt to fix the problem. Additionally I have restarted/shutdown the computer totally to see if it would fix the issue. No success. Please help.
    Thx,
    Audioboy

    I had the same problem, but the zoom was already off. So I went under "options" and unchecked "use scroll wheel with modifier keys to zoom," and that took care of it.
    Thought that might help some others who find this thread.

  • How do you make fonts back to default size in Firefox 24? They are blown way too big.

    Since upgrading to Firefox 22 and 24, the font size has been extremely huge. The only way to make it smaller is ctrl - , but when I go to other sites the fonts are normal size.
    I want to be able to get the default size font on the Firefox 24. I've been using Chrome because this has been so darned annoying, it's even causing Bing to screw up.
    Can someone help me get this fixed?

    This isn't the best way for it.
    Coz my monitor isn't really big.(21.5')
    It is very match for me by using 125%.
    But for FF22(or above) is too big, and the photo will zoom in for 125%
    that was a mess.
    And Chrome has the function but it isn't default but adjust from "chrome://flags"

  • How do you change the size of display in Firefox, I get Hotmail too small and Flikr too big

    I get the font size too small on Hotmail when viewing through Firefox. The screen size and font size is too big when viewing Flickr through Firefox. I am sure it is a simple question of adjusting zoom and I have seen it change while I am online. I just can't work out what I did to change it.

  • Firefox 22 and higher shows fonts too big or too small, sometimes on the same page. How to "fix" this annoying 'improvement"?

    Since the update *every* website displays with the fonts too big or too small. On many websites, some of the fonts are too big and some are too small *on the same page*
    This makes for a horrible browsing experience.
    I've tried setting the layout.css.PixelsPerPx to a value of 1, but all it does is make most websites fonts too small, while leaving some websites fonts too large, with many web pages having fonts simultaneously too large and too small.
    The old behavior was quite acceptable and I'd really like to restore the behavior to what it was. How can I do that? Or do i just switch to Chrome and be done with it?

    Did you even bother to read the question?
    "I've tried setting the layout.css.PixelsPerPx to a value of 1, but all it does is make most websites fonts too small, while leaving some websites fonts too large, with many web pages having fonts simultaneously too large and too small."
    This "fix" doesn't work. Hundreds of people are complaining about how their browser was broken by this "improvement". Why not address the real problem instead of telling users to apply a useless hack to fix a programming error?

  • When doing a second "Organize Library" cuz the first was too big, will iTunes recognize what's already copied over?

    I'm stuck with a large folder of music on my PC in My Music folder. And I used "Organize Library" in iTunes but it didn't copy everything over because the amount of music was too big. I've deleted the original copies of music outside of iTunes to open up more space and was wondering if I do a second "Organize Library" if it will recognize that some of the music has already been copied over.

    I don't know what "restore the iPod" is
    It's usually the second thing to do (after Reset) when the iPod is not working correctly.
    Select the iPod in iTunes and click Restore.
    See this -> Restoring iPod to factory settings
    what about my main question? Can I go back to "sync all" but manually block certain albums?
    No because sync all is just that.
    Sycning specific playlists should work fine. And you can create more than one and sync which ones you want.

  • Itunes is too big for my laptop, i moved it to an external hard drive and now it's lost

    My laptop was too slow and the hard drive was full so I added memory and it was still too full. I bought an external hard drive and tried moving my itunes to it. But now itunes can't find any of my music. I tried moving the entire itunes folder onto the external hard drive and still itunes can't find it. I tried moving everything back to the laptop - but it won't accept the file because its too big. Help!

    iPods don't look for the library. iTunes does.
    I recently moved my itunes music folder
    Don't move your music folder.
    Let iTunes do it.
    Point iTunes prefs to the location where you wan tit.
    Then go to menu Advanced -> *Consolidate library*.
    This will copy the iTunes music folder to the location in iTunes prefs.

  • Mail attachment was too big now that account is frozen

    I have two Accounts set up in Mail.app.  One business, one personal via AOL.  Comcast is my ISP.  Attachments are limited to around 10-20 MB.
    I tried to send an attached 5 MB Folder that I thought contained five 1 MB video clips.  When that didn't work, I split the contents into 5 separate e-mails.  When that didn't work, I noticed that these were all the actual sizes were GB not MB so I knew they were way too big to go as attachments.  However, Mail kept trying to send them.  Now, the personal account just spins but occasionally, new, outgoing mail will work.
    Based on suggestions in this Forum, here is what I have done for troubleshooting so far:
    Deleted the messages from the Outbox
    Deleted the messages from the Drafts mailbox
    In Mail Preferences, I deselected "Store Drafts on the Server."  (My guess was not only was Mail trying to send the messages, it was also trying to store a draft of each message.)
    I forced quit Mail and went to ~/Library/Mail and deleted any copies of either the Message or the Attachment that I could find including those in the Outbox, Saved, and Recovered mailboxes/folders.  (I sorted the various folders by size making it fairly easy to find these large attachments and found the individual messages by the created date.)
    I can retrieve my AOL Mail by going to their website but I still cannot get my AOL Account to work in Mail.app.
    What do I do next?  Should I just delete the Account and recreate it?  Can I do this without losing old saved messages?  Note, everything is backed up by Time Machine.

    Hi,
    When you select, New message ... is the window as big as your screen??
    If this is the case, try to drag the window smaller and try again to attach any file you like in the message.
    Is the drop down window smaller now?? if this is the case then drag the drop down wind to the size you like. On your right hand at the bottom you can drag it to the size you want.
    Post back with the results ...
