Adjusting Firefox DPI

On a few of my computers with 4K monitors running Linux, Firefox either display with tiny fonts or very large fonts, while most applications behave normally. After searching for a work around, I found the following solution works for me: setting the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to a smaller number, e.g. 0.7. From this this page: You can set layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 1.0 (default is -1) on the about:config page. Adjust its value in 0....

Make Github code viewer more pleasant on Firefox on FreeBSD

Ever since I have FreeBSD 12 installed on a spare laptop, I notice that this is the most frequently used portable machine at home. (Of course, I still use my main desktop, which runs Fedoda 27, for everything.) I think one of the main reasons is that I like the experiences when I started using Linux years ago – not everything works out of the box, and sometimes I’m forced to learn and understand better about an issue before it can be fixed....

This laptop runs FreeBSD 12.0 current. The version of the installed Firefox is 59, which is pretty new isn’t it? Well, that’s not new or good enough to browse outlook.office365.com email.

Fix: Fail running Firefox on FreeBSD without D-Bus running

This weekend I replaced Kubuntu 16.04 with FreeBSD 12 on an old HP laptop. I came across with lots of problems, but mainly because I wanted to have some experiences with UEFI and GPT. Anyway, currently the laptop is running FreeBSD 12-current with i3 as the windows manager. After Firefox was installed, I ran it from the menu (rofi) and nothing appeared. So I ran it from a terminal instead. Here was the output:...

Seeing what happened to him, it’s a good reminder that I shall back up my files and emails too. I use Mozilla Thunderbird (2.0.0.22), and I found a very nice tool to back up the emails (a....

Enable Khmer Unicode support on Firefox

With fresh installation of SuSE Linux 10.1 or openSUSE 10.2, Firefox does not display Khmer Unicode font properly. However, there is a very easy fix, all you have to do is to add the “MOZ_ENABLE_PANGO=1” to your .profile. Go to your home directory, then edit the .profile file. I use vi (vi .profile) Scroll down to the last line of the file and add: export MOZ_ENABLE_PANGO=1 Save the .profile file, in my case I do (ESC, SHIFT+Z+Z)....
