Problem viewing the blog


Hello All,

I am not very sure if this is the right place for my question. This is a request to root and moderators if I am posting in a wrong thread kindly move it to the appropriate place.

But I am facing problem viewing this blog in my mozilla firefox browser. Actually the fonts appear to be larger than it should be and what it used to be earlier. Suddenly one day all the fonts started looking bigger than the usual font size.

When I open the same page in google chrome or IE, everything is normal but this problem is only for mozilla. Is it some sort of problem on my end or everyone faces the same problem on mozilla?

An one more thing is the change of font occurs only for this blog and not for any other websites.

I see no significant differences in LQ font sizes in Opera and in Iceweasel (Firefox) on Debian and in Internet Explorer on you know what.

There is a font size setting in Edit-->Prefrences-->Content in Firefox. You might want to take a look at that.

Thanks for the reply

Have you tried testing Firefox v. Chrome with a different computer, even maybe with a friend's computer? That could help tell whether the issue is local to your box.

I don't have Chrome handy for testing.

Well yes everything goes fine on other computer's browser whether mozilla or chrome. I guess something has gone wrong with my mozilla browser

Well, you could try renaming the ~/.mozilla/firefox directory (at least, that's where it is on my Debian box) and restarting Firefox. When you do, it should recreate its configuration directory. If everything is okay, you can do file comparisons between the old one and the new one to identify the culprit.

I would suggest exporting your bookmarks (Bookmarks-->Organize Bookmarks-->Import and Backup) to a file first. That way, if you decide just to forge ahead without doing file comparisons, you can re-import them easily.
