scaling doesn't affect firefox and thunderbird

[rubo77]

If you use "Scale for menu and title bars" in the Displays Tab, this doesn't affect Firefox.

please add this to the Unity Desktop Integration:

about:config in Firefox and search for
layout.css.devPixelsPerPx
set this value to the same scale factor as in unity-control-center

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Was this fix ever released? This is totally broken for me in wily!!

[Kai Mast (kai-mast)]

Also broken for Thunderbird. Could we please reopen this bug?

[Kai Mast (kai-mast)]

Oh seems i have to set layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to -1 manually?

Also, doesn't seem to affect the scrollbar.

[Kai Mast (kai-mast)]

Can somebody tell me how to get this to work for Thunderbird? I have set layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to -1 but it doesn't change anything...

A workaround as mentioned further up here in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1333158/comments/2

see http://askubuntu.com/a/487033/34298

manually open a new tab about:config in Firefox and search for layout.css.devPixelsPerPx set this value to 2 or 1.5 as you wish to adjust the size of the icons

In unity-control-center I use value of 1.25, and looks like Firefox doesn't respect such value in layout.css.devPixelsPerPx. So I use 1.5 for Firefox.

[Anmar Oueja (anmar)]

Isn't there a firefox extension to do that automatically
