This appears to be hard-coded in Firefox to 10 point type, unlike most other settings which allow a user setting to override the default.

One partial workaround is to change your default serif font to something larger than Times New Roman. For example, the text seems at least a point size larger if I use Bookman Old Style.

Tools > Options > Content > Advanced... "Serif"

Of course, less of the URL or Title will fit this way...

Notes on the Fx code:

File:

\mozilla-2.0\layout\generic\nsSimplePageSequence.cpp

Code:

mPageData->mHeadFootFont->size = nsPresContext::CSSPointsToAppUnits(10);

I don't know how to suggest code changes, but it really would be nice for the point size to be configurable (even if the user has to go into about:config to change it).

Sorry...don't understand the answer you gave me. Guess all I'm really wanting to know that if I can enlarge the headers and footers when I print out a page?? Could you please tell me how I could override the default setting...or maybe I can't.

Thanks-mwlomax

Sorry, the part above the --- line is all I could find for now. Your default "Serif" font is used for headers and footers, so you could choose one that is larger than Times.

The part below the --- is background information on where the 10 point size is hard-coded into Firefox.

Since the header and footer are hard-coded, is guess I can't enlarge them...OH WELL. No biggy! Had to Google the word from Webopedia "hard coded" to find out what the word meant that you used. Thanx for tryin--mwlomax
