Words are cut off on the bottom in search boxes? In every search box for most web pages (you tube, this mozilla page, etc) the words in the box are cut off on the bottom half of the box. I can see half of what I am typing.

I tried to change the "zoom" option in the View tab but this did nothing. My google search box is the only untouched search box that stays the same.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

Did you increase the minimum font size?

If you increased the minimum font size then try a lower setting (default is none) as a too high value can cause issues like you described. Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors: Advanced > Minimum Font Size Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors: Advanced > "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

I had the same problem but I tried what cor-el suggested and even though all my settings were fine I changed the minimum font size to 10. Then back to "normal" where it was and the problem was fixed. Odd.

Thanks cor-el!
