Glitch between FF 22 and Avast! Forums ?
« on: June 26, 2013, 03:03:08 PM »
I installed FF 22 yesterday and writting some replies here in the forums I noticed when opening "Attachments and other options" that the Search button is not at the end of the box but inside. It works though but it looks wierd. Anybody else out there with the same glitch ?

It is hard to say if that is as a result of an update of firefox 22.0 or not, but it is the same for me, not that I even worried about it as it still works and normally I'm going to click the Browse button as the images are on my system.

I use firefox as my primary browser so I didn't bother checking with IE to see if it was a Firefox 22 only issue.

I'm more concerned with one of my add-ons doesn't work on ff 22.0, even though it isn't disabled or not compatible.

Most probably Dave, it doesn't happen in an (today) updated FF ESR.
But maybe it's by design in FF 22..??

It might be related to the way FF now uses the OS DPI.

No, I am not worried either, just curious. Like I said, it still works. BTW there is no change when running IE8, the search button is outside the box.

Thanks DavidR, Asyn and Tetsuo.

I would have thought with that amount of negative comment going back to March and April 2013 they would have done something to resolve it without having to do a chrome hack.

It's the perpetual beta status madness, man.

On my machine with Firefox 22.0 it looks the same: "Browse Button" on the left side.
Internet explorer 10 looks like this:

I hadn't noticed any problems specific to the forums here, but the display changes made in Firefox 22 (final release, too) definitely messed things up for me when viewing web pages generally.  I've got a 19" flatscreen which I normally keep set at 1024x768 as a reasonable compromise between page content and comfortable viewing.  After upgrading to 22, suddenly every page was too wide for the screen and required scrolling.  No problems with blurry fonts, though.

Thanks, Tetsuo, for that link to the specific topic at the Mozilla forums.  A single change suggested there worked beautifully in getting things back to normal for me ... in about:config, changed the value of layout.css.devPixelsPerPx (should be the first entry in that section) from -1 to 1. Didn't even require restarting Firefox.

I made that change, but it didn't make any difference to the problem reported in the first post, layout still the same as my Reply #1 attached image.
