See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=378927 for upstream bugs about this. You can confirm this by visiting http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/auth/dpi-screen-window.html to see reported DPI and default FF px setting will probably be about half what xdpyinfo and 'xrdb -query | grep dpi' report. The crossover point is 144 DPI. As long as your X DPI is below this, FF will behave as you are used to. If your system is really a 163 DPI system, and you don't like the scaling effects, you'll have to reconfigure something so that FF thinks or knows the DPI is less than 144. In about:config you could set layout.css.dpi to 143 as a direct workaround. Also you could set the system's Xft.dpi to less than 144. If your system is not really a 163 DPI system, you need to reconfigure X so FF doesn't think that's what it is. -- "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
