Do you use GNOME or KDE?

Firefox is affected by GNOME font settings
(gnome-control-center, Appearance, Fonts)

I use KDE and for some reason I need to go
into the
(gnome-control-center, Appearance, Fonts, Details)
panel and set the DPI to 96.
Interestingly, xdpyinfo correctly reports my
screen as 145 dpi and KDE apps look good without
forcing the DPI in the KDE fonts panel.

If you use KDE, you should also try to have this
running in a terminal:
   /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon
otherwise, the settings will be ignored.

When experimenting with this stuff, be careful
because the refresh is not always automatic;
it can become really confusing.

Best regards.
