That Calibri is very difficult for me to read. The letters are extremely thin and extremely close together. Plus look at the letter "g". I can't stand the way Calibri does that letter. That must be the font Google is using now for their favicon which is horrible and unreadable. Looks like the same "g". Look at "j". It is quite different too. > > Examination of the css file shows that there are some circumstances in > which Verdana would be used, but it's not really the focus of this issue. > >>>> It was suggested to me, on a Fx forum, that the problem I am >>>> having there with all Mozilla browsers might be due to my not >>>> allowing the website to download and use its font, but forcing it >>>> to use Verdana.

I had it bigger before I had cataract surgery and premium lens implants two years ago.

That's interesting because for me and one other poster in this thread it is the Calibri font that makes that page hard to read. The "H" in "How it Works" at the top right side is missing the horizontal cross bar and the left side vertical bar is extremely faint. That's just one example. Switch to Verdana and everything looks fine and is easy to read and nothing at the bottom is washed out looking. > > I can make it hard to read by doing CTRL-minus three times, but contrast > is not the issue with black type against a white background. Even "TOS," > in a non-bold light blue font, is legible for me. But if you use Opera with Verdana there then "TOS" is bolded and is a much brighter blue. That Mozilla website looks great on Opera andlousy (with or without Verdana font) on Mozilla based browsers. That is what? Funny? Sad? Stupid? I don't know which but definitely negative that Mozilla can't get their own site to look good, or work right, on their own browsers but looks great and works fine on Opera. > >>> If I mouse over the "Sign up" button, the key to the left of >>> "Connect with Mozilla Persona..." slides into the lock, leaving >>> only a little showing. >> >> That is how it is supposed to be with the key sliding into the lock >> if you mouse over it...but I can't see any of that on Fx or >> SeaMonkey. > > I suppose there must be some important difference in your configuration. > Have you enabled JavaScript?
