Just updated to FF 8.0.1 from FF 6.0.2, everything is smaller and harder to read! What did Mozilla do, and is there a way to get the spacing and fonts/font_sizes from ver 6.0.2 back into FF8?
I can zoom-in, but that makes the fonts look bad and zooms in too much w/ just 1 level zooming. I will be going back to FF7 or FF6 if I can't get this fixed.

WinXP, too. I have no difference font sizes between all the various Firefox versions that I have installed - 11.0a, 10.0a, 9.0b, 8.0, 6.0.2, 5.0, 4.0.1, and 3.6.24.
What do you have in the way of extensions installed? Are any disabled, and need to be updated?
You know I think you are right about font sizes. I rebooted and this morning I can't tell the difference in my BMP screen dump images I took.
But I swear there is still something different visually in FF8 that is making it harder to look at then 6. Just not sure what that is... it sorta feels like I am looking at a CRT at 60 Hz refresh rate, but I am using an LCD monitor. I sure hope my eyes just didn't suddenly degrade last night :)

Oh, and For extensions I have only these ones, and they are *all* disabled: DivX Plus Web Player HTML5, Java Quick Starter, Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant, RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin, and,
a Trend Micro extension

Try:
- Anti-Aliasing Tuner: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/anti-aliasing-tuner/
Try to disable hardware acceleration.
- Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.
