Every Menubar is three times as high as they used to be: The standard file menu, the tabs, the search bar, the "quick link" bar and even the menues. The fonts and symbols are normal size. It takes a lot of real estate and is a waste of space. Websites are displayed correctly. Menus in websites are displayed correctly as well. It happend directly after the last Firefox update. I am running XP pro and do not have the problem outside of firefox.

I tried to reset Firefox, but the problem still exists.

For some reason the problem is solved now. After resetting Firefox twice (including restart) the problem persisted. Closing FF once more manually and restarting it seems to have solved the problem, everything is back to normal - for now.
