Firefox shows websites differently on Windows and Linux

I dual boot Windows XP and various Linux distributions (preferred PCLinuxOS)

I have always seen that the same website appears more cramped for room when viewed in Linux. The menu bars displayed by most websites appear stretched into 2 lines in Linux while the same appears fine on Windows. The flowing content stretches far more in Linux.

I think this is probably the way fonts are rendered on Linux or maybe just different fonts being used and their sizes.

I am looking for suggestions to make websites appear in Linux as close to their Windows appearance as possible.

Hi,I am also having the same doubt,hope will get the right answer.

can you post the screen-shot sling-shot?

See the difference.

How do I get attachments to display as images rather than links?

Upload them to imgur.com ! Image links/files are broken.

I dual boot with ubuntu. Most sites looks same for me. Some are slightly different. You can install windows fonts. I done this long back, but recent ubuntu, i never faced the need to install anything else, most sites looks good.
