Operating system is Windows 7. I have always used Firefox but recently all my Googlemail display, not just the email text but the entire display, is rendered in a font size that must be about 5 points or less. I can increase the font size for the emails without difficulty, but all of the Googlemail displaying labels etc are ridiculously small. I can find no way to increase the size. However, for all other purposes on the web, Firefox is as good as it has always been, Help please?
