How to change Thunderbird zoom (for icons, settings etc, not messages)?

Thunderbird Settings

When I opened Thunderbird today, the zoom (not of the message itself, but the settings, email list etc) has increased so significantly that I can't read my email messages.

I also encountered a similar problem in Firefox, and fixed it as detailed in this forum: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/963036 but I can't figure out how to fix it for Thunderbird.

Thanks!

I fixed it!

I went Edit > Preferences > Advanced > General > Config Editor, and set layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 1.0.
