Does anyone else use it? I was a fan until now.

I just installed the update and suddenly everything is tiny! You should see the size of the smilies on this page! I can barely see them! I can make the font larger, so I can see what I'm typing fortunately, but the rest of the page is miniscule.

I tried to use IE, but I'm so used to Adblock I was amazed when I actually saw ads on the page! IE just isn't my style, but now Firefox isn't either..... :-\

oh crap!! I wouldn't use anything else - maybe I just won't install the update  ??? ??? ???

Ha just realised it does it automatically anyway - I can't stand the ads you get with everything else - love ad-blocker  :'( :'(

It does update automatically and I can't say I have any issues with it here MJ. *scratch head*
 Wonder if you can uninstall the update via the Control Panel - Add/Remove programs?

I love Google Chrome - however discovered that some Govt websites aren't supported.  So if they don't work I switch back to IE.  A frustrating lesson, but now that I know it's easy to solve.

The good part about Firefox is there's usually a solution in the form of addons. :)

I've installed NoSquint on customer's computers, but there's also Zoom toolbar, and probably others. They can (in the settings I believe) make the pictures bigger too - and they usually remember your size preference per website.

NoSquint

Zoom Toolbar

Hope that helps!

i just reinstalled the latest firefox last week and didn't notice any difference at all  :o

did you try holding the control button down and scrolling your mouse up to make it bigger? (i often do it by accident so you may have too ;))

All's well after my install - might be worth going into Tools - Options - Content and check the Default Font - mine is set at Size 16pt

I installed the update on my desktop and laptop earlier this week and I've had no problems. I would think you've changed a setting somehow Megan, there do seem to be a few ways of changing the  font size. I have a sliding zoom button on my keyboard which does crazy things to my screen if I hit it in conjunction with something else, ctrl I think, but dunno because it's always an accident!
