Dynamic adjustment to screen size

Hi Guys,

I have found that Thunderbird fits my needs for a nice looking email client (i have tried them all). But one thing annoys me endlessly. I use Thunderbird on my Macbook and move it between using the laptop screen and attaching it to a dock with a 49" monitor.

Using Thunderbird on a 49" makes the UI almost unreadable. Then i have adjusted the "pixels" from -1.0 to 1.25 which then looks nice. Starting the macbook on its own build-in screen, makes the UI tiny again and i need to adjust the pixels to 2.25. But switching the pixel 2-3 times a days is very annoying.

Is there a way to do this dynamically? Is there a way to easily switch "profile" or should this be something for a feature request for the App to detect the screen resolution and adapt to that by a factor?
