Problem with latest patch, Mozilla won't fit on 1024*768
Today (13/07/04) after the Mozilla patch, the display of the explorer is get bigger. I use 1024*768 on desktop. Now I have to scroll sideways to see the full page... Please fix it Thank You

yes, it wasn't an issue in prior versions and the display size was independent from your system settings. however the advent of high resolution displays has made it necessary that firefox now follows that convention, otherwise it would be unreadably small on such systems...
something that you can try if you want to set the text size/pixel density in firefox different from that of your system's settings like it was handled in prior versions, enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named layout.css.devPixelsPerPx. double-click it and change its value to 1.0 (or any other zoom factor that fits your purpose: 1.0 relates to 100%, 0.8 equals 80% and so on; -1.0 is the default value and will adhere to the system settings).

hello, please make sure that you have set windows to display at 100% in the windows control panel > appearance > display. more information about that is available at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/make-the-text-on-your-screen-larger-or-smaller
It worked but I used 125% in display and never had this problem before. You did something in the patch, can you please forward this problem for a hotfix or so, everything is small now, it partially fixed my problem. Thank you

This is it, thank you, it's now good with 125% windows display with 1.0 value. Cheers
I understand the need to deal with high-res displays. However, this change does not seem to account for the Flash plugin.
The problem is that I do this: <object data="main.swf" name="flashContent" id="flashContent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="576" width="1024"><param value="noscale" name="scale"><param value="t" name="salign">
When I trace the Flash program it says: 3.202: MainView: setup: stageW = 1280, stageH = 720
In the past it would have come back as 1024 and 576 and we could place objects accordingly in the Flash program. Now, if the Flash program doesn't have appropriate, scalable assets, the layout in Flash program is totally messed up.
Flash has its own scaling mechanisms and this change is a real problem for the "noScale" mode because it is not passing the information correctly from the HTML to the Flash program.
I hope this is just an oversight with the Flash plugin and that is can be fixed quickly, otherwise a lot of existing Flash programs will start failing.
