I installed TACO (anti-tracking addon) in Firefox.
My menus and bookmarks became too small too read. Sometimes they would become normal or too large but moving the mouse/keyboard made it just too WAY too small.
I did a bunch of stuff recommended by Mozilla to fix but in the end I
uninstalled FF including all personal data and reinstalled.
Same problem.

This only happens in FF.

Any ideas???

I would recommend removing TACO (anti-tracking addon).

I don't know what you mean by; I already removed everything and reinstalled.
Removed what?
Installed what?

I removed all addons, reset firefox, uninstalled FF and DL'd latest versions (which was the same version I already had) and reinstalled.

The menu resizing only happens in FF, not in IE.

sorry,but you didnt make it very clear that you had no addons running until your last post.
i was assuming you had reinstalled FF and the addons and were still having the menu size issue.
im afraid i dont have any solutions for you.
have you posted in one of the mozilla forums.

not offended, its something i know nothing about .
i was hoping it was the TACO add on as ghostery would have been the cure.
give it time more people will be online here later and someone may have a clue.

I *believe* that I deleted the FF profile.

I uninstalled the program and when I did FF asked if I wanted to keep FF data (I assume this is the profile). I said no.

When I reinstalled FF was brand new looking. When asked if I wanted to import bookmarks or anything, I said no.
It looked like a clean install.

Yes, you did delete the profile. I would go ahead and try the diagnostics, although given that you are now using a new profile, I don't know that it will be helpful, but at least it won't harm anything.

Please note that running Fx in its Safe Mode does not turn off plug-ins, and even with your new profile, there are plug-ins automatically installed; perhaps you have encountered some strange conflict between one or more of those, so try disabling them as part of your testing process.
