Font Size Larger in Firefox :(

Hey
I have designed a site and the font size is larger in Firefox
than it is in Internet Explorer.
Here's the site:

I have searched everywhere through google to find answers but
none worked. Does it have something to do with font requirements in
Firefox? Or in CSS I have to use an: important! tag?
Any help much appreciated!

Looks the same to me. My guess is that you just have your
default font size
preference increased in Firefox.
Remember, end users can change the font sizes regardless of
what you spec.
Overall, your site seems to handle font size increasing just
fine so I
woudlnt' worry too much about it.

Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the third-party developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, email the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.

Ctrl+= "make font size larger" keyboard shortcut is not working, maybe related to Windows 7?

I changed recently from Windows XP to Windows 7 64bit, and since then the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+= to make "font size larger" is not working anymore. Ctrl+- to make "font size smaller" is working like always. I tried this with LV8.5 and LV2011 and the missing functionality is on both LV-versions. So I wonder if this is related to Windows 7... Or am I missing something?
Any ideas?
I tried to switch keyboard input language without success. Then searched for menu shortcuts in the LV options, where Ctrl+= is not listed as it is only a keyboard shortcut and not in the menu. I wonder also why the whole font setting is so nestled in LV, why not just having a toolbar...
Looking forward for any help.

It works for me. I'm using Windows 7 64-bit, but I'm running LabVIEW 8.2, so I can't test this on other versions. Are you sure you don't have some extension installed that's using that keyboard shortcut?

How to make the font sizes larger in the Firefox Bookmarks Library?

The default font size of the entries in my bookmarks menu (displayed when I ask to Show All Bookmarks) is too small for me to read comfortably. How can I permanently increase the font size?
I assume there is a userChrome.css entry to apply. What would it be?

Add code to the <b>userChrome.css</b> file below the default @namespace line.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
<pre><nowiki>@namespace url("https://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#places * { font-size:16px !important; }
</nowiki></pre>
The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the <b>chrome</b> folder in the Firefox profile folder.

My font size changed in Firefox when trying to read email using yahoo email. I now have to use explorer to read my mail. can you tell me how to return back to the readable size font. thank you

I have been using firefox for years to read my email. recently the size of text became small and hard to read. I would like to get the text size large again, so I don't have to use the other browser. I have a att yahoo email account and subscribe to at&t uverse for internet service.

I tried both of your suggestions and neither one worked. I found the solution by clicking on the "View" button, then "Reset". This put my email back to the original font/text size. Somehow the screen had been Zoomed in, so to change it, follow the instructions above.

Font size larger than 72pt?

I'm new to this product, so this may be a stupid question...
I'm trying to create a pdf with form fields. In one field, a text field, I want the font size to be around 150pt. However, it's not available in the dropdown, so I type it into the font size field and hit enter. It appears in the design view with the new, larger size, but when I go to Preview PDF it shows up very small. However, when I use one of the drop down font sizes it works just fine. Oh, and I have allowed multiple lines and tried both rich text and plain text. Frankly, I've played with this field in every way I can imagine to get the 150pts (or even anything other than the drop down sizes) to show, and I just can't get it to work.
Help?

Works fine for me ....I wonder if it has something to do with the font you are using!

Firefox 28.0. Woke up to laptop totally changed from desktop to font sizes.

Firefox wiped out -- no history, bookmarks, etc. Trying to reset it all.
1. Upper left corner, next to icon, page name is too small to read (desktop toolbar on ottom is the same)
2. Bookmarks below address bar are too close together. See below. How to fix
gMail Firefox Google
Thank you

It was a fresh boot as I shut it down daily. I'm not on my Win laptop but am on iPad. Tomorrow I'll do a screenshot and post it.
I did a Windows update Thursday and today was the first use since then. Every setting is different from desktop photo, font sizes, wipeout of Firefox, to all icons but ten gone. About twenty disappeared. Still have a ton of programs to run and check.
I've never had this happen and I began with a Windows 3.01 back in the eighties or early nineties. If Windows was corrupted, why would Firefox change settings? I didn't upgrade it ; still on. 28.0

Font size of text too big on a mobile... why ?

Hello, I use Muse CC 2014.
I have the following problem:
When I create a wide text area, and I write a few lines of text, when I look at the result on a mobile device (with Chrome for example, on Samsung Galaxy S4), in landscape mode all goes well, but in portrait mode, the text size becomes BIGGER !
Therefore not possible to create a correct layout ...
How to make the text size remains the same in portrait or landscape mode on a mobile device?
Thank you very much
Robin Weber

znico,
I am also having this same problem and I have a thread on it here [Font size larger than it should be in mobile version]. It also happens on my S4 on Chrome. It has been an ongoing issue on the sites I design where I'll put the text box inside of a colored box for instance and in other devices the text fits inside the box but in Chrome/S4 the text extends beyond the box. I tried viewing it in Firefox for Android and the text seems to render as it should. I'm guessing it has something to do with the way the S4 or Chrome is rendering the text. I have not had the time to check but I'm also wondering if it has anything to do with fonts from TypeKit as opposed to web safe fonts. What font type are you using in your design?

Font Size from Desktop 4.1 to 4.1.4 is Too Small--can it be changed.

I notice that when I upgraded from Desktop 4.1 to Desktop 4.1.4 that the font size for memos, calendar, contacts, .etc is considerably smaller than it was in DT 4.1.
I've seen some posts here that seem to suggest that there is NO way to change the font size of Palm Desktop for the Palm III class of PDA's.
I suppose Palm thought they were doing us a favor by decreasing the font size and allowing more viewable text on screen BUT actually it's just another source of eye strain.
Anyone found a work around for this before I roll back to Desktop 4.1?--'cause I'm sure not about to change my system default font size or resolution to accommodate this new "feature".

Using "regedit" I was able to change the font size larger for use with the Palm Desktop software.
Run "regedit" and export (save) a backup copy for safety

Click on FontSizeGeneral and change the "Value data" to 16
Exit "regedit"
Run Palm Desktop software and enjoy the new legible font size!
Notes:
1) The location of the Palm Desktop software on my system using "regedit" is:
        HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop\Core
        * Your location of the Palm Desktop software may differ.
2) I tested this on monitors using resolutions of 1280 x 1024 and 1024 x 768
        The font size is noticeably readable and much, much better
3) You may also change the font family from the default (Arial) to another, such as Verdana, etc.
        FontCard   (Changes the font family in the side panels)
        FontGeneral   (Changes the font family for most of the program fonts)
4) Operating System: Windows XP Pro
        Palm Desktop v4.1.4
Thanks a Lot... It works excellent for me!

Change font size in Forms Builder?

I wonder if it's possible to make the Forms Builder font size larger, say size 14? The purpose is to make a Forms presentation easier to follow with a big audience.

About all you can do is set the screen settings down, which results in everything on your screen being larger. Try 800 x 600.

How do i change the generated font size in the TOC (left-hand pane)?

I've looked in all the sections in the Settings dialog, but I don't see anything that will allow me to make the font size larger. I just want to enlarge the TOC books and page listings on the left.
Please tell me that RH allows you to do something this simple...

You'll need to amend your skin. Double click the skin in the Project Setup pod. This opens the Skin Editor. Click on the Navigation tab and then the Font button.

Font size in Preview

Hi,
For some reason, or not, I cannot make font sizes larger with the Apple key + combination. I can make the font size smaller with Apple key - but not larger with Apple key +.
Why? The text is NOT at its largest size. I can make things larger by going to the menu and choosing that option.

I think it's just a little weirdness present in some apps but not in others. In most of the browsers, Apple key + does increase the text size. But, for some reason, Text Edit is different. If you look at the keys, you can find a justification for this behavior, but not a real explanation.
Take the "minus" key. You get the "-" symbol without shifting. This makes the text smaller.
Then look at the "plus" key. You must shift to actually get the "+" symbol.
I do not know why the behavior is not consistent with all apps.
Regards,
Steve M.

How can I change the font size in the menu-, bookmark-, tabs and status-bar?

I want to change the text font size in the Firefox-window, other than the text in the Web-page.

You can increase the String pref layout.css.devPixelsPerPx from 1.0 to 2.0 in 0.1 steps to see what works best.
In Firefox 3.6 and later this pref is a String value parsed to a float and allows to fine tune the dimensions of all elements more precisely.
To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />

In HTML Header I put textDid you mean Page Header Text? It wouldn't have done much of anything at all in the HTML Header...
However, the font doesn't do anything.Yet another universal selector problem: see +{message:id=4184109}+
How do I overwrite the style sheet? I am wondering if I change the default style sheet, does that also affect the other pages, which is not what I want. In that case you can just include the CSS inline, which will also get round the universal selector issue. You are also recommended to use a semantic HTML element instead of deprecated presentational elements like <center> and <font>. Assuming this text is the primary heading on the page, use <h1>:
<img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#my_header_logo_white.jpg" alt="" title="Application" />
<h1 style="font-size: large; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">Web Management System</h1>
