[firefox] small font issue on toolbar?


Recommended Posts

Hi guys

i need to know if anyone can help me out with this problem that i have with firefox, its not a major one but it just bothers sooo much that ive actually switched to IE until i can get it fixed! :no:

Anyways, ill attach the screeny so you guys can get a better look at the problem. When i open firefox all of the toolbar and tabs have small fonts and i can barely see them, i would like them to go back to there default size please, ive tried going to the options and increasing the size but apparently it doesnt work (obviously its for web pages), and i just dont know what else to do (ive even tried increasing the size of the font on windows)...lol well guys its upto you, im lost!

Thnx,

IceTheGreat

:D

I think it goes along with your Windows font setting. I can tell by your clock down in the right bottom corner that yours is set small. I changed my DPI setting when I set my screen solution higher, but you can also change your font size in windows itself (right click on desktop/properties/Appearance tab/ Font size in the drop down menu at the bottom.

I use a combination of both Windows font setting (extra large fonts) and the DPI setting (120 DPI).

BTW, you can set your DPI by right clicking desktop/properties/settings/advanced/General tab (for mine, yours might be somewhat different) Hope this helps.

You could try specifying a font size in userchrome.css

Not to knock you suggestion, but would have been more helpful if you had told 'em how.

I was in a bit of a rush when I typed that, and I assumed he could search for it...

For example, the first result on google is http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/edit .

Anyways, navigate to your profile directory, and make a file called userchrome.css and fill it with this:

menubar, menubutton, menulist, menu, menuitem, textbox, toolbar, tab,
tree, tooltip
{
    font-family: verdana, helvetica !important;
    font-size: 11px !important;
} 

What it does should be self-evident.

Thanks M2Ys4U. I'm not a very good searcher and I'm sure others have problems too. I was just trying to help them out, it wasn't anything personal, sorry if I offended ya.
