When I came to this website it appears huge for some reason. Zoom is at 100%, and decreasing the zoom just kind of compacts everything. I'm using the latest version on Firefox on the latest version of Windows 11 Pro. I've attached a screenshot to show how large it looks in relation to the top on my browser.

what if you start Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode (aka Safe Mode) - hold down the Shift key when clicking your FF icon.

I tried your suggestion about opening Firefox in troubleshoot mode and that DID solve the problem, I'm currently using it in troubleshoot mode. I don't know why it looks normal and I'm not sure if it will revert back to looking huge when i open it regular.

in that case, your Firefox profile may be corrupted.
in FF, in the address bar type this: about:support then click the URL for Open Folder, this will take you to your FF profile folder.
close out of FF.

rename the profile folder by putting old in front of it, or whatever you want.
now restart FF and it'll make a new profile (and folder) and see if the fonts are back to normal.
you'll need to re-install any extensions, and remember your passwords and stuff, or you can dig them out of the old FF profile folder.

I figured it out. I'm using an extension that changes every website to Dark Mode, called Night Eye. There is an option to toggle dark mode off in the extension and when I did that the website went back to normal. And this was after doing what you said, then refreshing FF, then clearing site data and cookies because nothing seemed to be working lol. You can mark this solved.
