[SOLVED] firefox3 : huge icons and large fonts with big pixels issue

hi all,
i have a weird issue regarding firefox3b3 (and firefox3b4 from mozilla.org as well). Firefox2.0.12 is running fine, but the beta of 3 has insanely huge fonts and icons so big that I cannot use it properly.
I have removed my .mozilla folder but that did not help, i have reinstalled it, downloaded the true ff3b4 from mozilla.org but all the same problem. On windows and solaris ff3 is running fine. Does anyone know what is doing this and how to fix it? icons are so large that it is even starting to get pixelated. I also tried <ctrl> - and <ctrl>/ and <ctrl>0 but none of those help either.
thanks,
stefan.

i have finally found a solution that Really works on the Ubuntu forum, i still had the same issue on my laptop (why it behaves different from my desktop i dont know, maybe because hwd -xs didnt make a 1920x1200 modeline in xorg.conf) but the following acutally works:
1) Go to about:config in ff3
2) Search "dpi". The value may be set to -1 (maybe auto-detection)
3) Change it to 96 (default dpi)
4) Enjoy Firefox 3!!!

  • My boyfriend bought a 2nd gen ipod nano at a garage sale and can't get it to turn on or unlock. I shows the apple icon and a ipod with a cone shape next to it. I do we get this to work?

    My boyfriend bought a ipod nano 2nd generation and can't get it to work and it only shows apple icon and an ipod with a triangle next to it. Says to see apple.com/support/ipod. Can anyone help to figure out what we need to do to get this working.  Thank you

    I think it needs to be charged. Try keeping it connected to the computer for some time. Then disconnect and connect again. And I hope you have itunes installed in the PC as the iPod can be synced only with that. Here's the link to download itunes http://www.apple.com/itunes/
    Also check the apple site for further syncing info.

    After doing the IOS 7.1.1 update on my iPad 4 the screen just shows the iTunes icon and a cable with an arrow. I can't get the device to open. Can someone help me with this issue? Thanks!!

    Yes. The phone will be back to default settings.
    Once the phone is up and running you can try and restore your backup again.

  • HT4623 Why did the update of my phone to the IOS 6, lose my UTube icon, and was replaced with a Passbook app.

    Why did the update of my iphone4 to the IOS 6, lose my UTube icon, and was replaced with a Passbook app.

    Apple is no longer supporting YouTube with a native application starting with iOS 6.0.  The "old" YouTube application was automatically removed when you upgraded, and it no longer exists in the new iOS.  There are however, numerous third-party apps in the App Store which will allow you to view YouTube, including one from Google, which is the parent company for YouTube.  Passbook is a new application to iOS 6.0 and is not at all related to YouTube.

  • Clearing 'search single location' and 'preview fonts with clip cut in

    When reconnecting media, you can add a search location - how do you clear this search tool if the folders aren't valid anymore
    in photoshop and after effects, u can preview the font after its cut into the sequence - how can u preview the font in final cut pro?
    Thanks
    Craig

    hey andy
    thanks for the search folder note - got it
    also, what i meant about the fonts was that i know where to change it, but can i scroll through the fonts with the text already cut into a sequence? Now, u have to pick a font, check it, pick a font, check it
    in photoshop, u can just scroll through all the fonts while the text window is open and see all the variations in fonts as u scroll down the list
    is here a shortcut like SHIFT/SCROLL - hold mouse down, something like that?
    thanks again

  • JTable and ResultSet TableModel with big resultset

    Hi, I have a question about JTable and a ResultSet TableModel.
    I have to develop a swing JTable application that gets the data from a ResultSetTableModel where the user can update the jtable data.
    The problem is the following:
    the JTable have to contain the whole data of the source database table. Currently I have defined a
    a TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE & CONCUR_UPDATABLE statement.
    The problem is that when I execute the query the whole ResultSet is "downloaded" on the client side application (my jtable) and I could receive (with big resultsets) an "out of memory error"...
    I have investigate about the possibility of load (in the client side) only a small subset of the resultset but with no luck. In the maling lists I see that the only way to load the resultset incrementally is to define a forward only resultset with autocommit off, and using setFetchSize(...). But this solution doesn't solve my problem because if the user scrolls the entire table, the whole resultset will be downloaded...
    In my opinion, there is only one solution:
    - create a small JTable "cache structure" and update the structure with "remote calls" to the server ...
    in other words I have to define on the server side a "servlet environment" that queries the database, creates the resultset and gives to the jtable only the data subsets that it needs... (alternatively I could define an RMI client/server distribuited applications...)
    This is my solution, somebody can help me?
    Are there others solutions for my problem?
    Thanks in advance,
    Stefano

    The database table currently is about 80000 rows but the next year will be 200000 and so on ...
    I know that excel has this limit but my JTable have to display more data than a simple excel work sheet.
    I explain in more detail my solution:
    whith a distribuited TableModel the whole tablemodel data are on the server side and not on the client (jtable).
    The local JTable TableModel gets the values from a local (limited, 1000rows for example) structure, and when the user scroll up and down the jtable the TableModel updates this structure...
    For example: initially the local JTable structure contains the rows from 0 to 1000;
    the user scroll down, when the cell 800 (for example) have to be displayed the method:
    getValueAt(800,...)
    is called.
    This method will update the table structure. Now, for example, the table structure will contain data for example from row 500 to row 1500 (the data from 0 to 499 are deleted)
    In this way the local table model dimension will be indipendent from the real database table dimension ...
    I hope that my solution is more clear now...
    under these conditions the only solutions that can work have to implement a local tablemodel with limited dimension...
    Another solution without servlet and rmi that I have found is the following:
    update the local limited tablemodel structure quering the database server with select .... limit ... offset
    but, the select ... limit ... offset is very dangerous when the offset is high because the database server have to do a sequential scan of all previuous records ...
    with servlet (or RMI) solution instead, the entire resultset is on the server and I have only to request the data from the current resultset from row N to row N+1000 without no queries...
    Thanks

  • Why are my Illustrator CC 2014 text, icon, and panel sizes too big? It's treating me like an old person.

    The photo on the left is Illustrator CC 2014 and the one on the right is Illustrator CC. As you can see the icons and text on the left are enlarged, resulting in less space for the document. I couldn't see anything in preferences about this. Does anyone know how I can fix this? None of my other CC 2014 apps did this... Is it a computer setting or a CC setting?

    I don't have CC so I can't test this, but apparently since 17.1 on Windows the illustrator UI scales to 150 or 200% depending on your OS scaling settings. it might have something to do with it:

  • Weird start up 1/4 of the screen with big pixels

    Before loading the screen in wich you pick the user, a 1/4 of the screen show you big pixels as if there was a major crash on the system but then after a few seconds goes away back normal -.-

    Retina display support has been around in Flash Player for a long time at this point, and this issue is not reproducing for me on my retina macbook pro with either the generally available or ESR version of Firefox.  This really sounds like an issue with GPU drivers, and it's probably specific to the particular model that you're using.
    You can verify this by temporarily disabling hardware acceleration.  It's described in the troubleshooting guide, here: Video playback issues
    If disabling hardware acceleration fixes it temporarily, please follow the directions in the troubleshooting guide about copying and posting the relevant system info. I'll try and hunt down an equivalent machine and get someone to triage it.  It will probably mean that we just end up filing a bug with Apple on the issue and/or blacklisting that particular driver/card combo until a patch is available, but we're happy to do that.
    Also, not all YouTube videos are encoded the same way.  A direct link to a video that demonstrates the problem (and any specifics, like quality settings or full-screen vs. embedded) would be helpful.  I'm definitely not seeing this on the handful of videos I sampled, and this machine is my daily driver...
    Out of curiosity, does it reproduce both when the machine is plugged in and on battery?  Some of the machines have two graphics chipsets, and switch to the lower powered ones when on battery.

  • Very long wait and weird font with PDF in indesign

    Hi,
    when i try to import PDF in InDesign, it takes a long time before loading it up, and when i finally get to place it, the most part of the fonts are replace by dots.
    Its also takes a lot of times when i try to export my .indd in PDF file.
    I tried the same operation with the same files on others computers and everything works fine, so i guess the problem is with my Indesign. I try to reinstall it but it did not change nothing.
    Thank you for your help!

    Amazing how
    reinstalling an application seems to be the knee-jerk reaction of so many when something goes wrong ...
    Most likely, the problem relates to either an improperly created or defective PDF file in which one or more fonts are not embedded or properly embedded
    and have oddball encodings and/or are using non-Western Latin characters that cannot be substituted via the standard substitution fonts.

  • How can do I solve the problem of small display fonts with Muse?

    I am trial testing Muse on my Surface Pro 3. The fonts display as very, very small maybe 3 pt. How can I correct this?

    Assuming you're referring to the size of the UI text and elements, the only workaround at the moment is to lower the display resolution. Right-click the desktop and select “Screen resolution”. Then, select the desired resolution with the “Resolution” slider. I think the Surface will letterbox for resolutions that aren’t labeled, but the labeled ones should work.
    We're actively working on full support for ultra high resolution displays on Windows, but unfortunately it's a substantial body of work. Until that's complete and released, the only workaround is to temporarily lower your display resolution when working in Muse (and some other non-ultra high resolution enabled apps).

  • I've lost reload icon and all captions with icons. Help.

    I installed a Mozy update, restarted, and found that firefox had lost the captions with the icons, the reload icon altogether. The customize box covers nearly the whole page and doesn't include as much as it used to. My Autofill is gone. And there is not Navigation Bar listed int the toolbars box.

    Did you just move from Firefox Beta 28.0 to Firefox Beta 29.0? What you are experiencing is the new "Australis" user interface.
    On first run, Firefox 29 should present a tour orienting you to the toolbar and menu bar changes. If that didn't run, perhaps there is a way to trigger it again? (I haven't tried it myself.)
    If you prefer the familiar user interface of Firefox 28.0, you can install the "release" version in place of the beta version. A backup might be a good idea, but you don't need to remove the beta.

  • How to print email in a larger font with my imac

    i just bought an iMac. i can enlarge my fonts on screen (i am not young!!) but i cannot figure out how to print out messages in a font that is not ridiculously small.

    Please read the warranty paperwork that came w/your computer.
    You have 14 days to return the computer w/no questions asked.  Plus you have 90 days of FREE phone tech support on top of your standard 1 year warranty unless you also purchased AppleCare which gives you an additional 2 years of coverage plus FREE phone support.
    Strongly suggest that you take FULL advantage of the above before it runs out.  Let Apple deal w/the problems.

  • Gallery and larger pics with longer loadtimes

    Hello
    my experimenting page
    http://www.hannes-renate.de/Bilder/astonnandini/index.html
    shows when initially loaded long periods of white
    mainImageOutline-div (up to several seconds). Only the second round
    trip of playing the slideshow, when all pictures are cached, shows
    the wanted behaviour.
    I don't want to let the user wait on the first image, if i
    would prefetch the images in an invisible part of the page. Is
    there a possibility to load the images in the background when the
    browser is idle?
    Hannes Löhr

    Hi,
    You could use a "Preload Images" script on a "onPostLoad"
    observer for the dsPhotos. However, this script should be triggered
    asyncronuosly:
    setTimeout( function() {
    // preload images
    }, 0);
    This will start the loading of images in the background,
    while the slideshow is still running. It will be better if you
    optimize the photos for web and also increase time for the
    slideshow.
