How to undo zoom changes in v103?

Post by Franpa »

Windows' "Make text bigger" accessibility setting now affects all the UI and content pages, rather than only applying to system font sizes.
How do I undo this? I had zoom level how I liked it for all websites and this change comes along and ruins it >:V now the same percentage values zoom by differing amounts from what they used to.

Franpa's quote is taken from the release notes.

Release Notes for Firefox 103

Solution: create ui.textScaleFactor pref and set it to 100 (not tested)

Great. Tested it in Linux - it does work.

Thanks Morat

That cured a very annoying problem with the latest update.

EDIT: Turns out all my bitching was for not. I reinstalled 103 and again I tried the ui.textScaleFactor 100 fix and this time it worked perfectly. I must have done something wrong the last time. Maybe I selected String instead, who knows.

What is the ui.textScaleFactor set at 100 suppose to do?

These affect all pages

I'm sure everyone knows of the menu View > Zoom In/Zoom out/Actual Size/Zoom Text Only

Also you can use Ctrl + / Ctrl - / Ctrl 0 (zero) to reset

Ctrl Mouse Wheel
The + and - can be substituted with the Mouse Wheel scroll up or down
I often take a long windy road to my destination. Upon arrival, I wonder how I missed the shortcut.
