Font looking too small on certain sites (problem persists after a bit of basic troubleshooting)

FF started handling fonts awry just out of the blue. I don't recall installing anything or fiddling with settings (be it Win7 or Firefox itself) the day before I started having this problem.
I've tried by now:
* Resetting zoom
* Clearing history (didn't, however, clear site preferences)
* JS, Basic Page Style are obviously enabled
* Fiddling with minimum font size settings (to no avail)
* Running FF in safe mode (thus, not an issue with my add-ons)
Want to make it clear, that google isn't the only site affected.

EDIT: at the time I still had FF 5, updated it to 6 but the issue remained.

Since Chrome is working, then there's something going wrong with your IE and Firefox installs of Flash Player. Could you tell me what files you have in the C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash folder?
You might want to give a clean install a shot:
How do I do a clean install of Flash Player?
Then for IE issues, follow it up with the steps in:

Font size too small on some sites on nokia 5230

I have nokia 5230.
Some pages like m.youtube.com display small font size even when font size is set to large.
Why is that?
IF YOU FIND POSTS HELPFUL HIT THE BIG GREEN BOX TO THE LEFT WITH THE WHITE STAR IN IT THANKS

It's the layout of the site, you can zoom the page you know , unless it happens to be an application, in which case just go to the web site through the browser and use zoom function on web browser.
Good Luck
Also you could try Opera mini and set zoom level in options to 140%
If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :

Comments font is too small

Hello,
I've installed Acrobat DC and opened a PDF with comments.
When looking at the list of comments, it looks good and the font size is good,
BUT!
When double clicking the comment in comments bar in order to copy the comment, the font becomes too small.
The same PDF that it's comments font looked good under Acrobat X has become too small in Acrobat DC.
I know that there was never an option to make all comments fonts bigger and that you can go to each comment and enlarge it text, but it is not reasonable to do it for 200 comments.
This is very disturbing.
Is there a way to fix it?
All the best

Hello
Thank you for your answer but this is not what I asked and it doesn't solve my problem.
I'm not talking about comments I create.
I'm talking about comments proof readers are creating for me.
Most of them use Reader and most of them use the default settings for the comment text.
I am the graphic designer who needs to fix the proof reader comments. I need to copy the text of the comment, and for that I need to double click it. When double clicking to comment, the text becomes too small. It has nothing to do with the size you set in preferences as this size refer the the comments text view when they are closed (without double clicking it in order to copy the fixed word or words) and not about the content of the comment. It even written in prefs "Comment view" and not "Comment content"///
Look at the attached screenshot.
I hope my question is clearer now.
Now, how do I change the font size of all 370 comments I have in my document so when I double click the comment I can see the font in a bigger font size?
I don't believe there is a way to do it. There was never a way.
I read here that there is nothing to do in old versions, seems like in the new version its the same. So the news are still sad as one of your stuff said in his answer...
I do hope I'm wrong, this is a serious issue for me.
all the best,
Shlomit

Monaco Font Looks Too Wide To Display on Konsole

I use Monaco as the default font of konsole. The bold format of Monaco font looks too wide to display a complete letter.
As shown in the picture, the last character of the file name disappears.
I also disselect the Draw intense colors in bold font checkbox in the konsole profile. It does not work. How could I fix that problem?

The only way to increase the fonts on your desktop would be system wide by going down a notch on the resolution. Some people won't do it because it increases the pixel size so the fonts won't be quite as sharp; I decided I'd rather have that than having to squint continuously. Go to System Preferences > Displays > Scaled > this will give you all resolution options available. No harm in trying - just check the default (top) choice again if you don't like any of the others.
It's a b*&^ch getting old . I still use the screen zoom instead of decreasing resolution, but maybe soon ...

Is there a way to increase the size of the tool windows/fonts in InDesign. I am having trouble seeing the info (the font is too small)

Not possible. You'll need to go to your operating system and choose a screen resolution that displays the screen with larger pixels.
Or get a new prescription for your glasses (seriously!)

The font is too small

The entered font size in mm is not true. The font is too small. Am I doing something wrong?

Thomas,
If you need to have the font appearance at a specific size while maintaining fuilly editable Live Type, you may:
1) Tick Edit>Preferences>General>Use Preview Bounds;
2) Select the Type and Effect>Path>Outline Object;
3) Then set the desired size in the Transform palette.
That will reduce the Bounding Box to the actual bounds of the letters, and keep the Type editable.
Remember to untick Edit>Preferences>General>Use Preview Bounds before you get a reverse issue.

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 />

I want the old download display back! Library font is too small, do NOT want the sidebar!

Just upgraded to 20.0 on XP SP3 - not interested in 'library' display; font is too small to read, do not need/want the sidebar, and need/want the % complete to show as it did in the old download display.
Also, how do I turn off the distracting and stupid fade-in/fade-out large green arrow on download completion - again not something I'm interested or have any use for.

I haven't tried it myself, but check out the solution in this thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/955204 Got new version, want to go back to previous download box, the new one has no history and doesn't show speed of download, how do I go back?]
The green arrow, like other toolbar controls, can be hidden by using the Customize feature. Kick that off by doing either of these:
* right-click a blank area of the Tab bar > Customize
* View menu > Toolbars > Customize
Drag the unwanted arrow into the dialog with the other unused buttons, the click Done.
Does that fix it?

I've shrunk my fonts box too small!

Thanks to everyone for your gracious help!
I've shrunk my font box too small, and can't get it to enlarge again. I dragged its resize control (bottom right corner of the panel) but now can't drag it back.
Thank you - Julie

Hello Julie
I assume you are referring to the Font Inspector. If so, you should see three little circular buttons in the top left of the window. As you move your mouse over the third from the left it should go green with a + symbol. Click it and it will expand again. If you aren't talking about this, please post back.

Why are fonts too small in certain websites?

In some websites, like Yahoo or any ran by Google, the fonts have become so tiny I can't read them. If I look at the sites using Internet Explorer, the fonts look normal. None of the solutions I've seen posted in FF solve the problem.

The Firefox font is too small on the homepage and all websites. How do I change it?

I loaded the latest version of Firefox. The font is so small that I can't read websites, etc. I looked through all of the help suggestions and nothing worked. Zooming doesn't hold; changing the font size makes web content overlap, changing the scale didn't help. The Firefox Help page has the perfect font size. Why can't that be used for everything else. This is a make or break for me and many others whether we use Firefox. I have a network of 68 people and we are all experiencing the same thing. Even with glasses, it is too difficult to read.

There are some add-ons that can be used to change the zoom level on all sites, for example:
* NoSquint - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint
* Default FullZoom Level - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level
