I noticed the fonts are of different size in Firefox and Chrome. Why they are rendered differently, it shouldn’t be like that. Is that the problem in theme?

Do you mean it’s bigger in Firefox? If so, have you changed layout.css.devPixelsPerPx in the Firefox config? I tested, and at first glance, I could see the difference too: [The image shows a Discord topic asking why fonts appear different in Firefox and Chrome, with a similar view being shown on two screens. (Captioned by AI)] Then, after debugging, I found out that the pixel ratio was set to 1.09 for some reason. I don’t remember modifying it; that’s odd. To reset it: Type about:config Reset the config or set to 1 [The image displays a Firefox window with the address bar showing "about:config" and a search bar for layout.css.devPixelsPerPx containing the value "-1.0". (Captioned by AI)] Now, it’s similar: [The image shows side-by-side screenshots of a single chat post in a Slack and Discourse forum, highlighting the differences in UI layout and features. (Captioned by AI)] Is it your case as well?

I don’t remember changing it, but will soon check and report. Thank you.

OK so I checked and the value of layout.css.devPixelsPerPx is 1. Check https://forum.liberland.org, and please tell me if it’s the same in your Firefox and Chrome?

Yes, it’s the same: [A screenshot of the official Liberland Community Forum, divided into sections like Support & Inquiries, General, and Technology & Innovation, detailing topics such as policy analysis and discussions about Liberland's governance and blockchain technology. (Captioned by AI)]

Can you share a screenshot of what you see, like I did above? Also, I’m not sure if it will be helpful, but you can try checking out this simple page (source): Browser font size diagnostics. [The image displays browser information showing the Chrome 135.0.0.0 version on a Windows 10 platform, with a viewport size of 2560px width and 1305px height, and default font settings including a root font size of 16px, body font size of 16px, 96 dpi for DPI/PPI, and 24px body line height. (Captioned by AI)] It gives basic information. You could compare the data between Chrome and Firefox. Feel free to take a screenshot and share it there.

It was the default font size setting in Firefox which was 18, and in Chrome it was 16. I don’t remember changing it in Firefox, but probably I did. Thank you!
