Tabs Got Smaller

The tabs on one of my Firefox windows got really small. Very small and very annoying when trying to click on one tab. I don't know how it happened, and I can't find a way to change them back. I did the usual stuff: rebooted the PC, closed Firefox and restarted, closed that one window and opened it again. No change in the situation. I didn't open, or close, any new tabs on that window. Like a little kid would say: "It was like that when I got here!"

I've seen the threads on minimum tab size and such, but I don't think that will help me, because the tabs in the other windows haven't changed.

I've attached some pictures to illustrate the relative sizes of the tabs. The one with larger tabs is from a crowded window, the one with smaller is from the window I'm complaining about. They were normal size, now they aren't. Help! Please?

Try to right-click on a tab and select Unpin Tab.
