I find the visibility on Firefox is WAY too zoomed in, everytime I open a new page its extremely large. How can i set the default to stay at 80% or whatever I choose??


Kindly,

Catherine

Try to set layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 1.0 (default is -1) on the about:config page. If necessary adjust its value in 0.1 or 0.05 steps (1.1 or 0.9) until icons or text looks right.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

You can look at the Default FullZoom Level or NoSquint extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

You can look at this extension to adjust the font size in the user interface.

You can set a global Zoom that affects both the user interface and web pages (this modifies the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref). You can do this via the Options/Preferences of the extension (about:addons or the Tools menu).
