Testing a post.
To see if it still does the spacing.
After making a change in Firefox about:config

Appears to be a 'feature' of Firefox.

The proposed fix, may or may not work correctly. It did for the previous test post but not this post, I had to edit it to fix the post.

Open a new tab. Type about:config in the address bar. Click through security warning if it appears.

Search for the value editor.use_div_for_default_newlines

Change the value of this entry to false

and spacing in posts should be normal and not double spaced.

Mine is set to true and I'm not seeing that problem on my end. Also the last 2 posts you guys made were double spaced, but not the test post Blynx. Very strange.

I believe the about:config key I posted earlier is not the fix and/or you also need to change a second value.

Open a new tab and type about:config click through any security warnings

In the search box type editor.singleLine.pasteNewlines

(I edited this post because the search value above is displaying in my Firefox is showing a space between the e and s. There is no spaces in the text you are typing in the search box)

The default value in my Firefox was 2. I changed this to 1 and made my most recent test posts and it doesn't appear to double the spaces (newlines) between paragraphs.

I did put a single space between paragraphs in the previous two test posts.

When I used to do this, it would make the spacing double. Now it's not since I made the change in this post.

My post was done that way on purpose. It's not a fault.
