How in the heck do you increase the size of the UI font? I have a 1440P monitor and the TINY size of the UI font makes it nearly impossible to read the text on the menu buttons, I have lean forward and squint to read it because they are so damn small. I can't find anything in the settings to make the UI text larger. It is as if some dummy hard coded the UI font size so it's impossible for the average person to find out how to change it. It makes no sense whatsoever.

And please don't tell me to increase the zoom in the Windows settings, because that screws up EVERYTHING else...

Another thing that is driving me crazy is how do you set it so that scrolling with the mouse wheel is smooth and not jerky? When i scroll with the mouse wheel, instead of smoothly moving the page up or down, it JERKS a couple of lines at a time. This is the only browser that it does that in. I have smooth scrolling ON in the mouse settings on my computer but for some reason, only Firefox is doing this.

Hello

About user interface

If you wish to test layout.css.devPixelsPerPx And there's propagates also side effects on the web pages.

1 - Go to Configuration Editor for Firefox https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/about-config-editor-firefox 2 - Enter a search term layout.css.devPixelsPerPx value by defaut -1.0 To see, you can try 1.3

If you wish to test user interface, with de help of userChrome.css file, you can find tutorials on the web. And there's not propagates side effects on the web pages and (for example) on about:preferences, so you can play with your keyboard Zoom in Zoom out https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-perform-firefox-tasks-quickly#w_current-page

userChrome.css (for example 15)

/* global font */ *{font-size: 15pt !important;}

If you modify, userChrome.css, restart Firefox.

font-size: 15pt, below.

this is way too technical for me. I thought there would be an easier way to make it larger.
