Re: [H] Odd FireFox behavior?
Rick, So Sorry! The one that is different is the one that does its' FF updates somehow auto-magically! (Addy8-C2D/e8400-WinXP) I can not seem to get my other 5 PCs to repeat this behavior.

Re: [H] Odd viewing?
Well 1st off 1024x768 is 4:3 not 16:9/16:8 so that's gonna result in whacky screen usage. 1024x768 is also the standard res for 17 so I'd think running native res. would result is same font size as it's a bigger monitor, not too mention only native res ever looks good on LCD. 1050-768 is only 282 pixels taller, the rest is the wide screen part, but you could try to increase the system font size to compensate YMMV. I run my 4:3 17 FP1702's @ native 1280x1024x75 and use the CTRL++, CTRL+-, CTRL+0 keys or mouse gestures in Firefox/Thunderbird to adjust fonts when they are too small to read.

Re: [H] Odd FireFox behavior?
The wife (she who must be obeyed) set me on a couple tasks and I never looked yet. (That is an old Irish saying IIRC.) I was somehow hoping the odd machine was the one that was different. Being one of many XPs, I'd look at the settings there first. In FF, in the Options section, on the Update Tab, are they set right? (Hope so...) Then, look at ALL the others... I just forced an update to FF 3.5.2 (from 3.5.1) but that is a server load thing that sometimes takes them a day or two to get around to offering it... The add-ons seem to update almost every day. Like you should be seeing, I get the updated around 4 times+ , so loose track... There is some sort of update file, (XML???) that gets corrupted in FF once in awhile... I got that message recently, but it went away before I bothered with the fix. (Mostly because I forget what the fix generally is/was...) Good luck, Hope a simple answer like this was enough...

Re: [H] Odd viewing?
j., I printed your reply. I will play more this afternoon with this. Yes, I did fully expect some abnormality moving from a 4:3 panel to a 16:9 panel. Guess I am still trying to adjust. Still believe that wide-screen is the way to go :) Well, finding good 4:3 panels is now getting tough. LOL! I'll also check out the ctrl+? functions in FF. I have really never used any of them before. Just never needed to remember this before. Now, it seems to be part of the game for us tired eyed viewers. Thank you for the suggestions and background.

Re: [H] Odd viewing?
Damn. Now I have to so seriously play with stuff I have not done in too many years.. :( I will get back to you. After I tweak/futz. ATM, it seems to me going wide-screen is no longer an option. It is what I can now pay for! Now, I learn to play nice with it. Thank you. Duncan maccrawj wrote: Wide screen is the way to go IMHO. Adjusting to how the landscape changes strikes me as a PITA, let you know if ever I get there! If you load Fire Gestures add-on there are right-click mouse strokes that will do the font size adjustment with a flick of the wrist. I forgot you can also do CTRL+mouse wheel to do the same. Just wish the rest of windows was as accomodating when it comes to font size tweaking, on-the-fly or permanent.
