I just looked at all of those images and I'm not sure what point you're making? The links you shared look about how I would expect them to look at 150% zoom.

Are you saying it has unusual default settings, and that 150% zoom is one of them? For what it's worth in my experience of installing Firefox which are probably done half dozen times in the past year or so on various devices, I haven't experienced anything like this.

Is this a joke?

The only things correctly sized are the page and the hamburger menu.

Do you not see the oversized tab-bar, the tiny icons on the tab-bar and address bar, the tiny ublock origin dialog, and the huge settings page?

I see all of those things, and none of them look unusual. Contrary to your claim, the tab part is not appear oversized but rather a normal size, contrary to your claim the icons also look a normal size, the address bar looks normal size and ublock origin looks the normal size and the settings page looks more or less normal.

It's hard to understand what you think is unusual. Everything in the browser is displayed normally. The page is different because you used a different zoom, and it zoomed the way Page is normally do.

Are you suggesting that the browser tab bar and settings pages should also grow or shrink if you zoom in or out on a particular web page inside of a tab?

I think you're not fully appreciating how unclear you're being with all of this.

I don't see what is so hard to understand.

I run a 150dpi screen.

What the problem with running a "96dpi" application on a 150dpi screen?

The text is overall too small.

What text?

Literally all the text in the entire application is too small.

What do I want?

I want to make the text bigger, so I have an easier time reading it.

Is there an application that does what I want?

Yes, Chrome does what I want.

What does Chrome do?

I set the default zoom level to 150% and it makes all the text bigger.

What text does it make bigger?

It makes all the text bigger, and the icons too.

What's the problem with Firefox?

I set the zoom level to 150% and some of the text is fine, some of it is way too small, some of it gigantic.

Why is that a problem?

I have a hard time reading text that's either too small or too big.

What's the problem with the tab bar?

It's too tall.

What's the problem with the icons?

They're too small!

This is just a you problem?

Surely fucking not. Surely I am not the only person running a web browser above 96dpi (on x11).

Is this a X11 problem?

No, Chrome works fine.

Is this a really complicated problem?

No, making fonts the correct size for comfortable reading isn't complicated.
