Firefox website display - text

[Adventurer]

 

See the difference between the two browsers' text for tip.it? Is there any way that I could set Firefox to display more like IE7?

 

 

 

Thank you.

 

 

 

Edit: Also, is there a way to keep the Firefox window from automatically going to maximum size after I close it on its F11 (full screen) size? It's really annoying for me to have to resize the window all the time like that

I actually don't see much of a difference, but you could always try to change ff's default font and size.

 

 

 

Tools -> Options -> Content Tab -> Fonts and Colors Groupbox

I believe you need to enable ClearType in order to make the fonts look better in Firefox. To do this, right click on your desktop and go to "Properties", click on the "Appearance" tab, then click the "Effects" button. In the window that pops up, check the box next to "Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts:" and then select "ClearType" from the menu. You may have to restart for the changes to take place.

 

 

 

As for your second question, could you elaborate more? I'm not sure I quite understand what you're asking.

Hit F11 before you close it to return it to it's original position. It automatically remembers the last window position when closing so there isn't much you can do about it unless theres some obscure option in about:config.
