User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_9_2) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/35.0.1916.114 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce: 1) visit: http://ubuntuforums.org/search.php?s=57675c11a6bdf86bab96542dde927803&search_type=1&contenttype=vBForum_Post&styleid=117 2) scroll to the bottom and notice the "Search Tag Cloud" words are all the same font size. (For posterity, we found this while investigating a similar issue in chrome: crbug.com/374021) Actual results: The search tag cloud should have different font sizes.
I believe this behavior is caused by the font inflation heuristic which has a subjective level of correctness. While I don't have any experience working on this feature, attempting to fix the behavior here may break it elsewhere, so I imagine this is a WONTFIX. Finkle, what do you think? Note that font inflation can be disabled by going to Settings -> Display -> Text size, setting the smallest text size, exiting settings, and refreshing the page.

Sounds like a dupe of bug 707917, which has some details on the issue. Yes, it's font-inflation.

Hello, Is this issue still reproducible? Thank you!
Flags: needinfo?(pdr)
I think Firefox's font inflation feature may have been turned off so this no longer reproduces. I cannot reproduce in Firefox Nightly.

Taking into consideration Comment 7, I will close this issue as Works for me.
