    My system's dotfile πŸ˜„ (by FirePing32)

  • I use a custom theme for Firefox, and it uses a different font size to match my requirements. For users like me, browser extensions having fixed font size may not be comfortable to view. This behavior was noticeable when I disabled userChrome.css. A good way to handle this would be to use units like rem instead of px. rem sets the font size relative to the HTML document. An another approach would be to use em, which sets the size relative to the parent element. Both of them work perfectly fine.

  • Alert windows cannot be resized. So a fix for this is to use a custom modal. Libraries like SweetAlert2 are easier to implement.
