613698 - About:home and about:support do not follow Firefix minimum font size in XP.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b7) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b7) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b7

I've asked others to reproduce and apparently this does not happen in Vista/7.  Changing the min-font size via Tools > Options > Content > Fonts & Colors changes the buttons, textboxes and header elements on these pages, but not normal text, text links or title elements.  Tested in clean profile, hardware acceleration disabled.  This happens on 4.0b7 as well as the nightly builds.

Reproducible: Always

*whistles* sure is quiet in here.  This bug will surely be an accessibility issue.  about:home should act just like any other web page and respect browser-set font sizes.

Current trunk has a different design and font sizes, could you check the page on that version please?

Sorry about that, I thought I had responded to this already but I guess it didn't go through.  Yes, about:home and about:support pages now correctly render with the default font size.  Not sure if I should change status to Resolved Fixed or Resolved Invalid/WorksForMe since this was fixed elsewhere?
