Am I dreaming? I usually notice subtle differences even when nobody notices them. The font could look a little different since I downloaded Firefox 3.0 RC2 yesterday.

I dont know, but I some times notice that the text on the
screen appears bigger than what it is, not sure why. I`m
pretty sure theres nothing to worry about.

Does the font look somewhat different or bigger now?

BTW, did you notice the performance boost in Firefox?

I just realized that there was some lines of text that
i pasted that suddenly looked thinner (not link, just regular text).
not sure what that is about, probably my eyes.

no....the font didnt get any bigger,though the old themes look different when used with this ff version,there's a little bit more space on screen.

yes,have noticed some performance boost-finding browser opening/launching times a lot faster,when compared to the older ffs,also am finding it renders pages a lot faster to.

think its a lot better than older FFs.
just have to wait for those theme/addon makers to start updating them to the new FF now.

I wish they'd make the link text at least as big as the regular text. I don't like to complain, but the teeny tiny link text is inconvenient.

I don't know about Firefox, but IE has a setting to change non-CSS text size (the hotkey is ctrl+mousewheel). Maybe you accidentally hit it?

I just did that and it changed the size. Do you know how to reset it?

Nevermind. I manually fixed the problem.
