User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:58.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/58.0 Build ID: 20171119034643 Steps to reproduce: I have a HiDPI display (15'', 2880x1800), Linux Debian. I used Firefox ESR (45), it showed menu/tabs properly. For firefox 45 I changed about:config://layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 1.5. Today I upgraded my firefox to 58.0b4: 1. I removed my ~/.mozilla directory 2. I reset option about:config://layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 1.5 value Sites are showed properly, but all firefox internal controls (menu, tabs, context menu, etc) ignore the option and have too small font (addressbar has font ~ 1mm, etc). So it is unusable. I googled, but did not find any workarounds. Could You explain me how to use FF58 on HiDPI monitors?

My problem is fontsize problem, not "scrollbar problem"
On HiDPI monitors Firefox 58+ showes its own texts (addressbar, menu, etc) with fontsize < 1mm (absolute value), so it is unreadable/unusable.
Scrollbars - is the other problem.

Have you tried using a value of 1 for layout.css.devPixelsPerPx?

Of cource! 1, 1.5, 1.8, 2, 3...
the option changes only web-content, not FF controls,
so web pages are showed properly, but addressbar, text at tabs, context menu, menu, etc are showed with fontsize < 1mm (absolute value).
FF45 worked properly, FF58+ - don't.
