To be honest, I have been using Chrome since this issue because Firefox is simply unmanigable with it shrunk like that. Let me try those and get back to you.

I don't know how, maybe just a fix with the recent updates, but this issue has been resolved. I hope it wasn't a simple cntrl+mousewheel zoom fix, haha. Either way, it has been resolved.
