It might have had a minor update since my post, it works now. before it was saying it was only for older browsers (the link at the official addon site, not the addons homepage)

I no longer need this, I fixed my display scaling issues with lower resolutions via adding them to the Nvidia Control Panel, Otherwise I would experience a 640x480 desktop surrounded by a huge black border @ 1280x960 for instance. (1600x1200 wasn't affected by the bug but I needed nosquint to read things at that resolution)

You guys try reading for long periods of time on a Hitachi SuperScan 811 monitor @ 1600x1200 60hz. -.-

Get glasses. specifically those meant for use when you're in front of a computer for long periods of time.

are there glasses that magically counter flicker?

funkyass · Post by **funkyass** » Mon Jul 06, 2009 4:50 am

ever consider running at a higher refresh rate?

franpa · Post by **franpa** » Mon Jul 06, 2009 6:42 am

monitor doesn't support that at the mentioned resolution?

You're using a CRT?

Why the hell didn't you just adjust the image stretch controls?

franpa · Post by **franpa** » Mon Jul 06, 2009 8:44 am

because there already at 90% in each direction and I needed to enlarge the image by about 200 or so %.

Post by **grinvader** » Mon Jul 06, 2009 7:12 pm

Wow, a valid reason. Keep getting irradiated by CRT emissions, franpa. It's doing you good.

Is there a separate control labeled zoom? I know my CRTs had two sets of controls.
Their menu guys intended zoom to be used to enlarge the image, and stretch to be used to adjust the geometry.

/me is trying to be helpful

h. size
h. position
v. size
v. position
pincushion
trapezoid
r. pincushion
r. trapezoid
rotation

they are the only options to adjust the image dimensions/size/position. Other controls include white temperature, contrast/brightness.

Ah well.

Write your monitor manufacturer, tell them they're gay, and you want a firmware upgrade.

my CRT scared me at 1600x1200, so ran in 1152xwhatever.

it let me set a sane refresh rate, and all was golden. but that was years ago.

now it's either the lappy at 1440x900 or the desktop at 1920x1200.

Although you've solved it, in the about:config
type zoom

You'll find an option to turn site specific zoom true/false.

If you decide to go the stylesheet approach in the userContent.css try

* { font-size: 1em !important;
font-family: "Liberation Mono" !important;
line-height: 1.5em !important;}
I personally don't like huge headings then tiny font etc...

There actually is a setting that I believe does what the OP wanted in the Firefox 3.5 about:config.

It's called: browser.zoom.siteSpecific
It's a boolean value that defaults to true.
