This sort of thing should have been fixed by bug 707855.  Need to figure out why it wasn't.

I think you only get that particular popup if your IP address is geolocated to Canada.  So I'd need a testcase.

That said, are you sure it's *over*-inflated?  That is, are you sure that's bigger than the text size chosen in preferences that content is normally inflated to?  (i.e., are you sure it's not just the contrast with the uninflated text?)

I am sure of nothing! I called it overinflated because it's spilling out of its yellow box, but I don't want to presume root causes.

[qawanted] We can't seem to get the STR HTML served to us in California. Can we get a Canadian to post up the HTML served to your computer (using a Fennec UA string?)

Minusing - investigation no longer makes the cut.

dbaron - is this a dupe of a bug tracking the newer implementation of font inflation?

This won't block release, but I'd like to track if there's a one-off fix we can take here in support of Canada.
