Firefox Android Font too "Thin"

Hello all,
I've been running Firefox Nightly and Firefox Beta on my Galaxy SIII (and now Nexus 4) for some time and it is by far my favorite browser... The only thing that drives me crazy is that the default font seems so "thin" compared to Chrome or anything shown on an iPhone for instance.
Screenshot of the latest Nightly vs the latest Chrome:

How can I fix this?
Thanks.

  • Stopwatch Font too thin!

    Is it possible to change the font for the stopwatch spp for the ipohone in I OS 7. I have changed the phone to bold, and it does not effect the stopwatch application. The lap counter is currently presented in a thin grey font, that is almost impossible to read from more than a foot away from a phone. While apple may find this design beautiful, it is incredibly impracticle as it is impossible to read from 3 feet away. If anyone knows a solution to make the lap timer a different color, or how to make the font bold, please let me know. if not, Appple, please work on updating this impractical font.

    That font can't be changed.  Tell Apple... http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    I'm sure there are dozens, if not hundreds, of stopwatch/timer apps in the App Store.  Most are probably free.

  • Fuzzy, pixelated, too thin or too bold fonts

    I have this weird problem with Firefox. Some fonts seems to be too thin/bold, and a little fuzzy and pixelated.
    This is especially for fonts of some links. For example, results on trovaprezzi.it. In this case it looks a little too bold as you can see here http://img.techpowerup.org/140723/gross.jpg
    I have similar problem also with the scroll bar when you right-click on a Firefox window.
    This is the Firefox scroll bar http://i59.tinypic.com/rm74pj.jpg
    This is the Windows 7 scroll bar http://i62.tinypic.com/294nxu9.jpg
    If you look very close, can see that the Firefox one seems to be more "thin"
    I tried with the gfx.direct2d.disabled on true, but then the font of Bookmarks toolbar and other bars, looks weird and very fuzzy if you don't use defaul skin.

    The first one is this site? http://www.trovaprezzi.it/prezzo_schede-grafiche_gtx_780_ti.aspx
    That looks smoother to me, also on Windows 7 64-bit. (Screen shot attached)
    Do you have ClearType fully enabled at the Windows system level? This article might be helpful: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/make-text-easier-read-cleartype#1TC=windows-7

  • Font of time on locked screen is way too thin (iOS 7)

    i'm new here, dont know if apple is reading complaints here, so just in case...
    the font, especially for the clock/time is way too thin. really makes my eyes follow that thin thread, to grasp the whole digit. It's ridiculous, cant believe Apple doesnt notice how user-unfriendliy this is. Okay, i've got a pretty bright background picture. that preinstalled wave...

    Have you tried playing around with the adjustments under Accessability?
    I think the default seeting are bad. After playing around with them on mine I found it was better.

  • I have a 22 inch monitor set at 150% but since I installed Firefox, the font is too small and the screen is too small. Cannot make font or screen larger. I can do Control++ each time I enter a page but don't want that to be my solution.

    In control panel/display, I had my display set at 150% and at 1680 X 1050 resolution. This filled my 22 inch screen with the page content. Now that I have installed Firefox, the font is too small and the content is centered in the screen leaving about3" per side of blank space. I want to fill the screen and make everything larger. Haven't found a way to do that. Firefox tells me in my control panel/display window that by setting my display at 150%, "some items may not fit in your screen if you choose this setting while your display is set to this resolution. It worked fine with Explorer.

    The Firefox Page Zoom feature does a domain by domain level of saving the users preferred zoom level settings, there is no default Page Zoom level setting in Firefox.
    Try the Default FullZoom Level extension: <br />

    Or the NoSquint extension: <br />

  • 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 I go to Yahoo Mail on Firefox the font is smaller than on Internet Explorer

    When I use Internet Explorer the font in Yahoo Mail is nice and large and easy to read but when I use Firefox the font is too small. Can it be changed.
    I am not just talking about within the e-mail itself but within the whole program.

    Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: <b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages
    If you need to adjust the font size on websites then look at:
    * Default FullZoom Level - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/6965
    * NoSquint - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2592

  • (Solved) Openbox font too small

    I've removed gnome and installed openbox, and now my fonts are too small. My firefox webpage fonts are fine, tint2 fonts are ok as well. But I think some leftover gnome setting is affecting it. I deleted .gnome2, but it's not working. What should I do?
    EDIT: Fixed! Didn't think of Xorg at first

    I've done more digging. I have this in my /etc/profile:
    export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dswing.systemlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel -Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel -Dswing.aatext=true -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on'
    Well, this screws up gdx-setup (the first screenshot). If I only use
    export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dswing.aatext=true -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on'
    Then gdx-setup looks fine. Netbeans was still messed up either way. I did find that it seems Netbeans has issues with the GTK+ look and feel on non-GTK platforms. So I reverted NetBeans to the (ugly) Metal theme and now the fonts are bigger.
    So I am marking this as solved. It seems that the GTK+ look and feel is just not happy on non-GTK+ platforms. I guess that makes sense in a way.

  • How do i use my web of trust add on firefox android?

    how do i use my web of trust add on firefox android?
    i have it in my PC and it works great, all i do is look at the green circles to tjw right of each website in my search lists.
    but i do not see anything like this on my android! how do i work it?
    thanks!

    Yes, I clicked on your link, but it took me to a foreign language (i assume Italian or such) page. Then I backspaced to type in just the add-ons for android, and searched for web of trust, then WOT. But i still cannot find my answer! Are you able to just TELL me how to use/see/ bring up this WOT app in my FF android? Thanks!

  • The background setting at the top of my Firefox page is too busy (beach scen) to read the tabs. How can I get just a simple plain background instead of the tropical beach scene?

    A cannot read all the tabs because the tropical beach scene background at the top of my firefox screne is too busy with dark objects like palm tree trunks. How can I change the screen background so I can read my tabs more easily?

    You can revert to the Default theme (Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Low resolution of Google Image Search results in Firefox Android

    I'm new to Android, and I've noticed that Firefox brings up lower resolution Google Image search results in comparison to the same image search on Chrome for Android. When I click on an image result in Firefox it gives me the option of going through a low resolution slide show of all the image results, or clicking to see a single full size image. But that takes me out of the slide show, and then I have to backtrack to continue on with the low resolution slide show.
    Chrome allows you to see the full resolution images within a slide show, allowing you to swipe from one full res image to the next.
    Is there a way to get a slide show of the full size image results in Firefox Android without having to jump through all the hoops to see the full size images?
    So far this is the only drawback I've seen with Firefox Android. I would much rather use it vs. Chrome because of Firefox's ability to use plug ins, especially adblock plus.

    Perhaps I didn't write my post clearly enough. A Google image search on Chrome produces image results (via slideshow) of superior quality than an identical slideshow on Firefox. Your answer implies that Google sends higher resolution images to Chrome than it does to Firefox. I find that hard to believe.
    Chrome apparently renders its Google image search slideshows using full size images, while Firefox does not. Rather than providing the full size images within a slideshow, Firefox seems to use lower resolution thumbnails, then forces you to click on a "Full-size image" button for each image that you want to see clearly. I was hoping there was a way around that.
    My original question was if there was a way to increase the quality of the slideshow results in Firefox so you don't have to click on the image to open it up at full res., then backtrack to get back into the slideshow, then do the same thing all over again for each and every image you want to see clearly in full size. On Firefox you have to do all these extra steps that you don't have to do in Chrome. So, based on the answers so far I guess I guess that's just the way it is and there's no way around it.

  • Calendar event font too small

    New events I create in calendar have a font too small to read. How do you change the front size?

    I'm having the same issue. Did you get an answer?  Seems that calendar entries created within Outlook on my laptop are fine, but entries created on my iPhone have a very tiny font. changing default font in "Settings - Display and Brightness" does not help. Thanks.
