Yesterday everything was fine, today every site looks like I have activated some kind of grandpa mode. All sites look like they are zoomed in but it doesn't let me zoom out more. I have tried to change font size in options but it doesn't help. Desktop mode also does literally nothing. Does anyone else have this issue too?

edit: it looks like desktop is actually not working at all. If I activate it on lemmy, site reloads but if I open options again the desktop mode slider is off.

edit2: this is about firefox mobile on a lenovo tablet

Is it just the text that's larger, or the whole webpage including pictures and web elements?

Firefox copies the font settings from your phone (you should have a font size slider depending on your Android version), maybe this changed?

It's not only fonts, also columns, boxes, etc. everything looks like when you zoom in, but I can only zoom in more, not out. Some sites are barely usable because the side bars take up almost 50% of screen width :(

I have checked the tablet settings and everything is at default.

edit: I've just tried chrome and sites look normal there :/

Thanks for confirming. I didn't realize it was about a tablet. Have you checked the accessibility settings of Firefox mobile and played around with that?

Honestly, I'd check if there is an update or rolling back to a previous version to see if that changes anything. Troubleshooting can suck, but at least you know it's Firefox as Chrome works fine.

[–] DrGunjah 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

yeah I have tried that but it doesn't help.

I've checked the release notes and apparently they have made changes to the desktop mode AKA they broke it. In the latest play store ratings there are a few people reporting the same issue on tablets. So I guess my firefox was updated to this broken version last night.

Is there a way to rollback to the last version in the play store or do I have to install an apk from mozilla manually? (sorry for the dumb question, never done this before)

[–] donuts 5 points 6 days ago

I'm afraid you're gonna need to sideload an APK as you get no choice but the latest version with the official Play Store. Here's the version before the latest: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/mozilla/firefox/firefox-132-0-2-release/
