Firefox 3 Released

<< < (20/21) > >>

tomos:
dont know where to post this - re the forum here & how it shows in FF3 in particular

I open unread posts page
open links of interest in the background
when I click on those tabs that were opened in the background, there's a noticeable jump - the page (and text?) reduces in size like something slotting into place -
anyone else experiencing this ??

I've only seen it with dc on FF3 but saying that, I've only tried a couple other forums, otherwise not had any similar trouble with other sites

f0dder:
tomos: don't think I've had that, but perhaps something related? Sometimes when I switch to another tab, it's as if another tab than the one I'm selecting is rendered for a very short time, and then I get to the correct tab. Haven't looked into what it takes to reproduce, as it doesn't happen very often.

This looks like the zoom memory, where, by default, the zoom setting is remembered per site (and across sections). It is a new feature in Firefox 3.

To check, you can reset the zoom for donationcoder.com (Ctrl+0, or View > Zoom > Reset).

Zoom memory can be disabled via about:config:

that's it all right dmtrs, thanks :up:

strange that it decided to resize one site and not most others - or not in f0dder's Firefox for example !!
Just checking: so if I set zoom to 120% for dc, yes, it does remember ...

I would reckon it was previously at about 110% or less (-I work with scales so I'm a good guage ;)) and when I clicked on the tab it jumped back to 100% (or 10% less :D)
anyways, sorted now, thanks

f0dder:
tomos: it's actually a feature of FF3, that it remembers zoom per domain, not browser-wide or per-tab... I quite like the feature, since some sites use ludicrously small fonts :). Guess it might explain my behavior as well... yep, just tested, indeed it does - if I change zoom for one open DC tab and switch to another, first it renders (or shows cached render?) with the original zoom, then quickly re-renders to the new zoom level.
