Don't feel bad. Check out the screenshot in this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=266518
look right by running gnome-settings-daemon but that is a pain in the neck: it resets my keyboard mappings set by xmodmap and, now, the new version whines about "{" when it expected "}", xscreensaver can't find things, etc etc.
My question is why won't firefox honor the settings in userChrome.css? Mozilla does, thunderbird does. It must be detecting gnome somehow and reading some setting somewhere? Where? Can I change these static settings or delete them? After all firefox must run on gnome-free linux systems, right?
I have put font specifications in .gtkrc-everything in my home directory with no effect.
Was your FF built with QT instead of GTK2? Probably not, but I thought I'd ask anyway. I probably won't get around to 9.2 for a month or more. 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. Also, try a new FF profile. If that works, try deleting XUL.mfasl in your original profile directory, and if that doesn't work, *.rdf. -- "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."
