Firefox 4.0 and 5.0 not displaying website correctly after upgrade

I recently updated to Firefox 4.0 on both my desktop and laptop. My website, www.mylifeundecided.com, is displaying fine on my desktop (XP) but not on my laptop (windows 7), it also displays fine on our mac (OS X) which also has firefox 4.0.

For some reason the font is displaying too large causing everything to be bumped down and not appear right (and I already checked the zoom, it's not zoomed in or out, it's at 100% so that's not the issue.)

I tried upgrading to 5.0 but experienced the same issue. It looks fine on Chrome, IE8 and Firefox 3. Here is a screenshot of the issue and how it's supposed to look. (the affected area is mostly in the circled box).

Can anyone help? Much appreciated! Thanks! Jessica

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting 'none' as a high value can cause issues like you described.

Hi Cor-el,

Thanks so much for your response. Unfortunately, I checked and both of these settings are already set up as you described. Minimum font size is set to none and "allow pages to choose their own fonts" is already checked.

Any other ideas?

Thanks! Jessica
