Was your FF built with QT instead of GTK2? Probably not, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

Don't know--firefox-1.0rc1.en-US.linux-i686.tar.gz from the mozilla site.

Nevertheless I have to speculate a possible DPI problem in spite of the fact that Moz & TB don't have the same problem. You should not need to use userChrome.css to fix what are bugs. Normally userChrome is for customization tweaks. So, is your DPI OK? Have a look at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=164574&action=view to see.

Changing DPI fixed it by half. A new profile fixed it. Thanks, Henry Harpending BTW glad to see "Team OS2" in your sig: I still mourn for it.

I think you'll find that SVG is "Structured Vector Graphics". The type of graphics that Inkscape or Sodipodi turn out. There is a plugin from Adobe, I believe. Lee

about:buildconfig in the urlbar will tell you

The output includes " --enable-default-toolkit=gtk2 --enable-xft " so it was built with gtk2.

What was it before, and after?

Oops, forgot to write it down. My screen is about 100 dpi, 1920x1200, and XF86Config has it as 1600x1200 I think. Henry
