In every instance of FF, and in each tab I must use Ctrl-++ several times to get the text size I want. This is present even when setting default font size to XX size (mine set now at 12pt. minimum and 14 pt. default. If I change these the issue remains. How to fix this? I'm using openSUSE LEAP-42.2 w/KDE Plasma 5. Thanks for all that you do and give us users. Have A Healthy, Prosperous Day!! robhwill <*-at-yahoo.com>

Hi

I do not know of a way to do this outside of an add-on, but others here may know of a solution.

(I have made a small edit to your question to remove personal details for your security).

You can set layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 1.0 (default is -1) on the about:config page. Adjust its value in 0.1 or 0.05 steps (1.1 or 0.9) until icons or text looks right. Modifying layout.css.devPixelsPerPx affects user interface and web pages (global zoom). You can use an extension to correct the appearance of web pages.

Make sure to check the value since a too small or too large value can make it impossible to work with Firefox.
