Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
The option layout.css.dpi in Firefox 3.0.4 (via about:config) is ignored in Kubuntu 8.10 (i386).
That is bad because the font size for web content is very small on my 19" CRT at 1280x1024
To adjust the system DPI I tried the following
1) ScreenSize option in xorg.conf (increases GTK User Interface fonts but not KDE fonts)
2) X-Server command option -dpi 108 in kdmrc (increases KDE fonts but not GTK fonts)
3) Xft.dpi: 108 in an ~/.Xdefaults file (increases GTK fonts but not KDE fonts)
So now I have a combination of 2) und 3)
xdpyinfo reports the correct target dpi of 108.
But all these settings are ignored by the Firefox web rendering and layout.css.dpi was a solution in previous versions I used (Firefox 2).

I also have this problem with Ubuntu 8.10 (amd64).
Setting layout.css.dpi doesn't seem to do anything at all.
