Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

Hi this is related to a gui inconsistence bug.
Firefox config 'layout.css.dpi' point to '-1', that means 96 dpi or the larger IIRC.
But in a desktop using 800x600 resolution the dpi is smaller, so what the user get is not what it see.
Forcing the config to '0' resolve this, I don't test this very much.

I'm reporting this small but important bug(more for wysiwyg), and for our mission, make Ubuntu perfect.

should be fixed in firefox 3 by now. The rest is a gnome bug.

This bug is not a bug 118745 duplicate. Firefox defaults are set in px, while most of the rest of a normal X desktop are set in pt. The px to pt relationship does vary with DPI, making this look like a DPI bug, but as long as Firefox is behaving as expected, which it is, having X determine and use a correct DPI, bug 118745, will not affect Firefox behavior. Only if and when Firefox is changed upstream to use whatever defaults are set in X instead of using its own individually set default size preferences can this problem go away.

The bug still exists in Jaunty.
layout.css.dpi is still -1 instead of 0.
