version 22 is too huge why did they mess with my settings when everything was PERFECT. Now I can't get FF back to normal.

Upon updating to version 22 the window stretched out and everything became HUGE. Why on earth would you mess around with the size of the window and everything with in that window and make it look like it's for a person with a visual impairment?

Even going to about:config and changing layout.css.devPixelsPerPx didn't fix the size of the Menu Bar (which is too tiny). Yet everything in the window is HUGE. Everything on this page is huge and can't even fix on my window.

You need to use the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref to get the appearance of the user interface correct and use extensions to get the appearance of the web pages correct.

Use this extension to adjust the font size for the user interface:

You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

It was totally unnecessary to do this. Everything was perfect, until this change came along. I petition to have this change reverted back to how it was in the previous versions.
