Hi,

I am using Firefox 3.6.15 on Debian Linux, but there are many rendering problems. For example: text is too small, images are blurred, the whole feeling ist different from the Windows version of Firefox.
If it is possible I can upload some sreenshots which show the problem. When I use Konqueror the rendering is much better.

Are you sure you didn't accidentally zoomed the website ? Try pressing ctrl-0 (that's a zero) or View->Zoom->Reset to see if it helps.

Yes, I know this feature of Firefox, but I have tried it, before. The zoom was reseted.

Could you see if the issue occurs with a new, empty profile:

Hi Ed,

it's strange but after I created a new profile the website is rendered correctly, now. Thank you for your help.
What could be the reason for this issue?

Comment 7

[Ed Morley [:emorley]]

Either an addon or else corrupt (or otherwise altered) prefs.

Perhaps try the old/existing profile, disable all addons, restart Firefox and see if the problem still exists. If it doesn't, then it was an addon; if it does, then it was related to prefs/the rest of the profile.

I have tried it, but no addon seems to be responsible for the problem. After deactivating all of them and restarting Firefox, the problem still occurred.

I am going to mark this issue as "resolved". Thanks again.
