Version 47.0 Windows: Changing all tabs fonts size

Post by ejfuente »

Hi there, since the upgrade, Firefox is changing the font size (smaller) on all my open tabs (after a while)? Why?

Any help appreciated... thanks!

> the upgrade

Upgrade from what?

Are these tabs from Session Restore?
If so, wonder if there was a change in the way zoom level is maintained, like by address instead of domain or something like that?
Fire 750, bring back 250.

Thanks Therube,

The upgrade was from whatever the previous version was... Firefox just upgrade itself whenever there is a new release.
Are the tabs from Session restore? : No.
All the tabs are new tabs that I have opened during the day... let say I started working in the morning, opened 4 or 5 tabs... eventually I will minimise the Firefox windows to work on a spreadsheet for example or whatever, this may take an hour or less... when I maximise the Firefox windows again to look at something... all the tabs fonts have changed (to very small fonts), the only way to fix it is to shutdown firefox and start all over again.
Hope this explain the "problem" better.

Thanks Again!

Thanks All,

Well Firefox updated itself again, to version 47.01... good/bad news

Bad news... the problem still persist
Good news... fonts go back to normal after 10-20 secs and after clicking in a few of the open tabs.

I can live with that for the time being and until the new update.

Thanks again!
