Setting layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 1 does correct the issue with text, but the rest of FF looks like crap. I changed it to 1.3 and it's pretty close to what FF21 looked like but still not the same (and looks worse IMO). I tried 1.1, 1.2 up to 1.5 and those look worse. The toolbar icons and bookmark favicons are fuzzy and look like garbage.

Reading through the mozillazine thread, I can't believe they kept this as the default for 22, given all the complaints. One user on the last page put it into words better than I could about how it looks now:



I shouldn't have to find the balance between PixelsPerPx and text size in order to get FF to look the same. Especially when I set up a computer for poor vision users and now it screws that up. I guess I'll leave FF on 21 until I'm forced to move to 22 either through security or lack of support. 🙁 Very disappointed in this change by Mozilla.

Personally I find myself on the other side of the issue. FF22 looks great on my 11" Zenbook Prime. The fact that FF now supports proper DPI scaling is much better than the hacked up collection of settings and add-ons it previously took to try to scale up FF to a reasonable size.

Though admittedly I don't understand why you'd have the Windows DPI setting turned up unless you wanted things to be bigger.
 
Ooooh, that devPixelsPerPx thing isn't limited to integer values. :awe:
1.25 looks...marginally better.



(Dear Mozilla,
I hear from my parents on a regular basis already. I don't need your incessant stream of UI retoolings to prompt them to come to me with the usual issue: "Firefox looks different now. What happened?")

A good point. I do like it when engineered things follow the established rules.
