Appearance of SL Forums very poor in Firefox [Solved]

I dunno, but with the latest phpbb it seems like it has gotten buggier, especially in the admin area

^Yes, and I find that, since the latest upgrade of phpBB, the only sure way to know if there is a new post is to visit every shed, as 'View unanswered posts', 'View unread posts', 'View new posts' and 'View active topics' don't always work correctly, at least in my case.

Coming back to my 'lousy appearance of SL Forums in Firefox under SL' problem, I suppose it could also be caused by, or contributed to by, the latest AMD Catalyst driver ati-drivers-10.4 which I installed at 23:14:32 on 01/05/10, not long after I installed Firefox 3.6.3-r10 at 16:36:36 on 30/04/10. Oh well, I'm not going to bother playing around reverting to older versions etc.; I'll put up with it, but am a little surprised that no one else is seeing the same effect.

I've found the reason! I suddenly wondered what would happen if I tried Firefox's Zoom Out keyboard shortcut ("Ctrl"+"-")... Ha!

I must have somehow pressed the Ctrl key and the "+" key when I was messing around with Compiz and KDE Desktop Effects a few days ago, and zoomed in Firefox on the SL forums page without realising it. Doh! But why the problem only manifested itself on the SL Forums Web pages I don't know, unless Firefox remembers Zoom In/Out commands on a per-page basis? Anyway, egg on face and problem resolved.
