<p>Fixed the maximum size of fonts in Reader Mode when zoomed (bug 1578454)
</p>@rshboston, could you rewrite your report on bugzil.la/1578454 ? Thanks.

</p>Hi rshboston, the Reader handles the zoom up and zoom down buttons differently. Instead of doing a p2019-09-18T03:51:44-07:00jscher2000https://support.mozilla.org/de/questions/1267960?page=2#answer-1253067<p>Hi rshboston, the Reader handles the zoom up and zoom down buttons differently. Instead of doing a proportional enlargement like regular view, it modifies the base font size by 2px each time. On mine, it takes many, many taps of Ctrl+ to get to the max:
</p>
<ul><li> base size: 20px
</li><li> max zoom: 58px (approximately 3x)
</li></ul>
<p>This seems to be stored for the Reader across sites, which is convenient. However, that also means, at least for me, the site zoom level in regular view has no effect on Reader view.
</p><p>The <strong>reader.font_size</strong> preference you'll see in about config appears to max out at 24, meaning if I increase it to 30 and then open Reader view on a page, it resets back to 24.
</p><p>That's a lot better than what it was before, but still a limitation.
</p>Thanks, that partially solved the problem. I can now zoom up to 300% in reader mode. However, this2019-09-18T03:24:14-07:00rshbostonhttps://support.mozilla.org/de/questions/1267960?page=2#answer-1253045<p>Thanks, that partially solved the problem. I can now zoom up to 300% in reader mode. However, this is less than the maximum reader mode zoom that was achievable prior to FF69.
</p><p>Based on previous troubleshooting input, I had modified the zoom.maxPercent; to 1000%. Unfortunately, this only effects the normal mode zoom. In reader mode, the zoom only goes to 300% in FF 69.0.1. Although this is an improvement it is still less than the previous maximum zoom.
</p><p>Also, the settings under the FF menu do not reflect the correct zoom level when in reader mode. No matter what level you zoom to, the settings always say 100%. The correct zoom level is reflected in normal mode though - see attachments.
</p><p>If I zoom in to greater than 300% in normal mode, then switch to reader mode, the zoom level is retained and I can even continue zooming. This seems non-intuitive though and a little kludgy.
</p><p>In normal mode, if I zoom while the FF menu is displayed, I can see the zoom level value change. This does not happen in reader mode. If I zoom to say 540% in normal mode, then switch to reader mode, the value under the FF menu will say 540%. However if I zoom up and down while in reader mode, the zoom value shown in the FF menu does not dynamically change as it does in normal mode. Instead, the value remains the same as it was when the switch to reader mode was made. This is true whether I use the keyboard shortcut or click the +- buttons under the FF menu.
</p>It's fixed in 69.0.1. See bug 1578454.

Given my poor vision though, the largest, 48px, is still a little small, but it definitely helps. I know it's a lot to ask, but would it be possible to code one for 72px? If so, I'd love to try it/use it. If not, no worries. Like I said in an earlier post, I can still use a screen magnifier. Thanks again!

It is the same method used by the built-in zoom, but with higher values. Not sure this will be able to successfully override the built-in sizes, but if you get a chance to give it a try (it's the "Second Try" row), let me know how it goes.

A bookmarklet is a tiny script you save as a button on your Bookmarks Toolbar (or Bookmarks Menu). When you click the button, it runs the script in the context of the current page.
</p><p>So for example, I created a selection of buttons that modify the font size which you could test out and keep the one you find the most useful. I'm attaching a screenshot of what it does on mine.
</p><p>This page has the buttons:

</p><p>If none of those sizes is big enough, you can edit the bookmarklet: right-click it on your Bookmarks Toolbar and choose Properties. Then in the Location, look toward the right end where it has the size and use a higher value.

<p>It is a lot of work the first time you do it. But I took care of the first 45 minutes by coming up with an approach, testing it, and writing up the steps to implement it. The other 15 minutes are up to you or anyone who wants to try it.

</p>If you need an immediate workaround, you could consider injecting a larger font size through a userC2019-09-05T11:32:04-07:00jscher2000https://support.mozilla.org/de/questions/1267960#answer-1249608<p>If you need an immediate workaround, you could consider injecting a larger font size through a userContent.css file. This is an optional file Firefox reads at startup and applies to the web content area. Note that this would be separate from and ignore zooming, so it's not an ideal solution, more of a Band-Aid.
</p><p>To set that, first, it's probably a good idea to experiment with the font size in the Style Editor. Here's how:
</p><p>While viewing a page in the Reader View, open the Style Editor using either:
</p>
<ul><li> Shift+F7 <em>(you might have to cancel the Caret Browsing dialog)</em>
</li><li> "3-bar" menu button &gt; Web Developer &gt; Style Editor
</li><li> (menu bar) Tools &gt; Web Developer &gt; Style Editor
</li></ul>
<p>Firefox should show two style sheets used by the reader mode. Click into either one, go to the end of the style sheet, and paste this rule on its own line:
</p>
<pre>/* Font size: normal zoom max is 28px */
div.container {
font-size: 36px&nbsp;!important;
}
</pre>
<p>The font should become huge -- at least it does on Windows. You can experiment with the font-size value until you find one that looks good and make a note of that. You might want to try it on a few articles before concluding what works best with your display.
</p>
<hr>
<p>To have Firefox apply the rule automatically every time you open the reader view, here's the next set of steps.
</p><p><em>This assumes you do not already have a userContent.css file. If you </em>do<em> already have a working userContent.css file, you just need to add the rule under (A) to your file, and adjust the font-size as needed.</em>
</p><p><strong>(A) Select and copy the overriding style rule code</strong>
</p>
<pre>@-moz-document url-prefix(about:reader){
/*** These rules only apply in Reader View ***/
/* Font size: normal zoom max is 28px */
div.container {
font-size: 36px&nbsp;!important;
}
}
</pre>
<p><strong>(B) Generate and download a</strong> <code>userContent.css</code> <strong>file</strong>
</p><p>Open the following page and paste the above rules into the editor, replacing the sample rule:
</p><p><a href="https://www.userchrome.org/download-userchrome-css.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.userchrome.org/download-userchrome-css.html</a>
</p><p>Adjust the font-size value as needed. Then change the file name selection to userContent.css and click "Generate CSS File". Save the userContent.css file to your computer. (See first attached screenshot)
</p><p>Use the downloads list on the toolbar to open the downloads folder directly to the new userContent.css file. (See second attached screenshot)
</p><p>Minimize (don't close) that Finder window for later reference.
</p><p><strong>(C) Create a new</strong> <code>chrome</code> <strong>folder in your profile folder</strong>
</p><p>The following article has the detailed steps for that (#1, #2, and I recommend #3)
</p><p><a href="https://www.userchrome.org/how-create-userchrome-css.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.userchrome.org/how-create-userchrome-css.html</a>
</p><p><em>I have videos for both Mac and Windows in case the text is not clear.</em>
</p><p><strong>(D) Move the</strong> <code>userContent.css</code> <strong>file you generated in Step B into the</strong> <code>chrome</code> <strong>folder you created in Step C</strong>
</p><p>You could copy/paste, drag/drop, etc.
</p><p><strong>(E) Set Firefox to look for userContent.css at startup</strong> -- see step #6 in the above article.
</p><p>The next time you exit Firefox and start it up again, it should discover that file and apply the rules to the reader.
</p><p>Success?
