A while back, after doing a yum update, a new version of Firefox was installed and since then, the contents of my pages don't fit any more because the buttons are now much bigger. I've done some searching and to be honest I've drowned in the results. To make matters worse, most of the results are OLD, referring to IE version 6 and Firefox version 30. This problem is only very recent (months). The problem is only in Firefox for Linux. Firefox for Android and Windows look fine, as does Chrome on everything and I.E. Does anyone have any relevant / current suggestions on how to fix this? Firefox on Linux is my main development platform so having it look different to everything else is a real pain It doesn't seem to matter whether I use <input type=button> or <button type=button>

To go down the CSS route means that I'll have to amend every CSS / HTML to fix the problem. It then doesn't fix the problems I have if I visit other people's web pages, although to be fare I don't notice it so much on other people's web pages. It still doesn't explain why it's only Firefox on Linux, and what Firefox have changed to cause it in the first place. As an aside, I have tried using CSS to reset the size of the buttons but haven't found a satisfactory effect. I had problems with the contents not being centred after the size was changed.

They're only slightly bigger than they should be but it's enough to break page layouts. I've been doing some more reading and it appears that it's something to do with the default CSS for the web browser, as I don't have a "reset" section at the top of my CSS. Maybe that's my fault, but the bigger picutre question is "why does Firefox for Linux" show different to everyone else, including Firefox on any other platform?
