Package: firefox
Version: 47.0~b5-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I have a hiDPI display and have been using firefox from experimental
because it has fewer issues with this.
Upon upgrading from 47.0~b1 to 47.0~b5, a regression has occurred in
that most input elements such as submit buttons and select dialogs have
become very large in comparison to surrounding text size; something I
had experienced with the stretch version of Firefox.
This is causing many sites to have broken formatting or in some cases
completely unusable interfaces due to button overlap.
This jsfiddle:

Renders like this in 47.0~b1:

And like this in 47.0~b5:

As you can see it is around 1.5x the size.
Looking at a web page with a simple
<input type="submit" value="Update">
button under Style Inspector, I can see no changes other than the font
size for the button in 47.0~b5 being twice as many px as in 47.0~b1. See

(These four images collected at http://imgur.com/a/wB6cP for ease of

As a workaround is there any way to override system font size for form
input elements? It seems to be set in forms.css.
