Strange, that's never happened to me on work PC or the iMac at home.

I think it's probably a bit of both. It's likely we are doing things in a slightly odd way, which Macs interpret differently to PCs but unfortunately I do not have a Mac here to test with, which will make it a bit tricky to sort.

It happens consistently in Firefox 3.6.13 for mac OS X 10.6.6 - only quoted text. It is always larger than other text on page.

Work supplied the iMac and the original plan was to zap it and pop win7 on it but I've decided I'd give it a fair trial first. It's bootcamped and I also have parallels for when I get 'homesick'. hehe

I see this in Safari on my Mac at home.

If you like, I can drill into the page elements with the web inspector thingy, and let you know if different font sizes are resulting.

Thanks a lot, that definately helps with the "What?". Guess I better start digging into the "Why?" smile
