#246: fedora.css sets a universal scaling factor of 76%, which is much too small

If it actually works as I think it does, I don't get why Gnome took the same 
granular approach to compensation as the web browser spec. DPI as a virtually 
infinitely adjustable zoom knob has worked well here for a decade. It just 
doesn't have an easy to modulate via GUI control mechanism that I'm aware of. 
Applying it is a cut and try process editing an optional config file.

The ease of an auto-preview textarea is a tough lure to avoid. The problem 
doesn't occur in any of the many bug trackers I use that run on Mozilla's 
tracking software, or most of the forums I frequent. The problem I ran into 
here is a typical result of JS links trying to create popups running up 
against a popups verboten setting in Gecko, resulting in the popup content 
usurping content of the current tab, and destroying back history in the 
process. Bad bad bad bad bad bad bad:
