Title:
Firefox appears horribly distorted after upgrade to 38.0
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Today when I opened my package manager (muon) to check for updates, I
saw there was an update for Firefox, to version 38. I installed this
along with other available updates like I always do. Upon restarting
Firefox, however, I discovered a nasty surprise. All of Firefox's UI
was appearing as if I was on a computer with a much lower screen
resolution, and web pages were appearing as if I had massively zoomed
in on them.
Everything looks many times bigger than it should be: icons, toolbars,
tabs, menus, web pages, they're all big.
I have no idea how or why this happened.
I tried restarting Firefox in safe mode, wondering if it was maybe an
incompatible add-on. This did absolutely nothing for me. I began to
suspect that the update to Firefox 38 had caused the problem. So I
decided to test my theory by downgrading. The only prior version in
the repos appeared to be 28.x, but luckily, in my
/var/cache/apt/archives/ folder, I found the .deb for the last version
of Firefox I had installed - 37.0.2. I opened the .deb and installed
it. Upon opening Firefox, everything was normal again -no abnormally
large chrome or web pages.
I ran the upgrade to Firefox 38 again, and bingo - the problem came
back. I ran ubuntu-bug firefox to get Apport going, and then finished
up by coming here to Launchpad to submit a report. Attached a
screenshot to show the distortion.
My computer's native resolution is 1920x1080, and that's what I run.
I'll have to stick with 37.0.2 until I get some confirmation that this
issue with Firefox 38 has been addressed/resolved. Firefox is unusable
with this problem.
