Silverlight plug in.(what the heck is that?) The problem started when I was in the previous version. It's infuriating but I have no idea how to fix it. I was just typing away, hit enter to start a new paragraph and BAM there it was. Tools > Add-ons > check the entries for both Extensions and Plugins on the left side list.ĭo either one of you remember what the last thing you guys installed/uninstalled or updated on your system prior to this issue surfacing?

One other thing, what Plugins & Extensions are installed on Firefox? I am wondering if there is a catalyst, like another program on your machine that could be causing this?Īlso, what Office/Word Processing software do you have installed? It doesn't sound like Operating System is a key factor though. I am using Firefox and Waterfox (which run on Firefox engine) and have not yet experienced anything out of the ordinary with fonts and I use Yahoo Mail daily. To the last poster: so this is only happening with Yahoo Mail using Firefox version 14.x or 15.x, is this correct? I have a Linux machine, but I'm doing hardware upgrades, so can't test YahooMail on that today. This doesn't happen in Firefox 11.0 or Firefox 14.0.1 (Mac OS X 10.6.8, two different machines), so this appears related to the later/latest versions of Firefox. I briefly considered reporting this bug to Yahoo, but they have ignored every bug report I've sent in over the years, and never fixed anything, so no more help to Yahoo from me.

Note that there *should* be no font change, as I'm running in Plain Text mode-but Yahoo Mail doesn't abide by that.

I've tried changing things in options, I've tried highlighting and changing the size, it makes no difference.ĭitto for a different operating system (Mac OS X 10.6.8) and Firefox version (15.0), either Plain Text or Rich Text mode, and started about a week ago.Ĭompose New Message in YahooMail, type a line, start a new paragraph, and it increases the font size with each new paragraph. No matter what I do, when I pass the 5th line of type the font suddenly becomes gigantic. Typing along in an e mail box and suddenly the font jumped to the largest size, 36.
