After upgrading to 3.6 all the web pages come out tiny. The text and the pictures. I must use the Ctrl + in order to make the web page fill my screen. What do I have to do to set a default size for every web site I visit?

■ Easiest method, if you allow firefox to tabs you used then on restarting I believe it also retains the zoom settings

  • Tools -> Options -> General -> Startup = use current pages

■ There are also extensions that can be used, some allow individual sites to have individual settings. Look at the this thread which also discusses related matters.

■ The best method if you need the same effest accross all sites is probably changing one of the preferences within the config files, it is discussed in the above linked thread and also in this MozzillaZine article http://kb.mozillazine.org/Layout.css.dpi

I do not myself recollect any change in display between recent versions of firefox. I suspect any change, assuming you are using the same hardware; will be down to some setting on your computer, or in firefox's profile being changed inadvertently on your machine.
