Setting Browser DPI Settings in Linux
2016-12-27 "I have a Lenovo X1 Carbon that has a 14 inch screen with a 2560x1440 resolution. While not quite Retina Display quality, it still has enough pixels to make everything on the screen appear tiny with a regular 96 DPI setting. Trying to fix this in browsers by increasing font sizes breaks quite a few sites, while custom DPI settings works better.
Firefox
Open
"about:config
and set the propertylayout.css.devPixelsPerPx
to the desired value, in my case 1.3. -
Emacs and Firefox on Debian
2016-12-21 "I have once again switched browsers, the pendulum is now on the Firefox side. However when I changed my Emacs config to open links in firefox it didn’t work.
Instead I got the error message “Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.”
It turned out that I had both the
"firefox
andfirefox-esr
packages installed, andbrowse-url-firefox
tried to openiceweasel
instead offirefox
. Uninstallingfirefox-esr
solved it. -
My local browser war
2006-09-25 "I switch browsers like others switch … something they switch very often. Why does it have to be so hard? All I want is a browser that:
- Is small and nimble
- Feels like a Mac application
- Has good ad blocking support
- Handles Flash on demand
Safari locks up too often, and a number of sites do not work with it. Shiira is small and nice, but has no decent ad blocking. Firefox has lousy Mac integration and eats memory like there is no tomorrow. Flock just does not feel ready yet. OmniWeb has clunky ad blocking and is not worth the money.

Patting Myself On the Back
2004-09-28 "It’s not that often that I get to say “told you so” - ask my wife, coworkers or basically anybody - but I found this old blogentry mentioning Phoenix, now better known as Firefox.
Told you so.
