It depends. Websites generally look their best when you let them specify their own font sizes, rather than setting them yourself or requiring a minimum.

You can use Firefox's Zoom feature to scale up sites that are too small while preserving their layout. The above-referenced article (Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages) has the steps.

If you need to zoom every site, it can become tedious. There are a couple of add-ons that let you set a global zoom level, and then you only need to tweak the few sites for which the global level doesn't work.

Any luck?

I have followed the directions and they were successful, until I went to ebay.com

no matter what I select, their font is too small for me to read well. is there a special way to out-maneuver ebay?

can somebody help?

thanks

Hi kinseysue, apologies for the delayed response, I was traveling. Zoom should work on all sites, but you might need to reset the starting point using Ctrl+0 (that's a zero).

You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.
