I am unable to reproduce the issue you have logged. Can you please try it using a new profile:

Cant seem to reproduce the bug using a new profile.
I have been using the default profile.
The default is the one i have set up in Fx 3.6
Changing the profile to "Firefox 4" (that was listed in profilemanager) seem to fix this.
But then (most of) my bookmarks and settings seem to get lost, so i really like to use the default one.

Sorry to doublepost but there is no "edit" function.

Did some more testing today.
Started Firefox 4 using the default profile and exported my bookmarks.
Then changed profile to "Firefox 4" and imported the bookmarks.
This made the bug come back again.
I have 15 bookmarks in Bookmarks Toolbar.
Why the bug should come back is a mystery to me.

Just hope someone can confirm this bug and that there will be a fix for it.

I cant make a screenshot of it because as soon as i press "Prt Scr" the font goes back to normal.

Anyway, this is not a big deal and i guess i can live with it until Ubuntu and Canonical get Firefox 4 out.

Considering that the issue is not present on a clean profile indicates that it is something related with your specific add-ons,bookmarks or prefs.

Vidar, any new news on this issue? Did you manage to find a way of reproducing it on a clean profile?

Comment 6

[Vidar Pedersen]

Yes, i did manage to reproduce this with a clean profile.

See comment #3.

Exported my bookmarks with default profile (the bugged one) -> logged in to a clean profile -> imported bookmarks -> bug is back.
Bookmarks was of course saved as bookmarks.html.

I havent done to much testing after this.
I have tested removing my userChrome.css, that dosent help.
Why my bookmarks should make this bug for me i have no idea about.

I will try starting with a clean profile and make all my bookmarks all over again to see if it happens then.
I use the addon "iOpus iMacros" and have some bookmarks via that.
I will test deactivate it and see.

By exporting and importing the bookmarks, it may be possible for the bug to be ported from one version of Firefox to the other via corrupted database.
