====================
If none of the above or variations thereof work, as a last resort, you
can use the brute force method of forcing Mozilla to use a particular
DPI directly. Edit your user.js file and add:

	user_pref("layout.css.dpi", 108);

You may change the DPI number to any resolution you like. Setting it
to 0 will restore Mozilla's use of the X Server DPI. Like prefs.js,
user.js is a plain text file in your profile directory. If it doesn't
exist, create it with your choice of text editor.

As an alternative to editing user.js, you can change layout.css.dpi by entering

	about:config

in the urlbar, right clicking the current value, and changing it to
any number you like.

For more information on correctly setting your DPI system wide.
