The qr code displayed in the account transfer email from thunderbird is bigger than my pc screen. Snapping a picture with phone camera not possible. I employ visual accessibilities on pc as I am elderly and have tried to get emails to appear smaller. Cannot get entire qr image on screen.

Chosen solution

You can zoom out on the QR code image by pressing and holding the <CTRL> key while tapping the plus (+) key. Similarly, you can zoom in on it with CTRL and minus (-). CTRL+0 (zero) returns it to regular, un-zoomed size.

These are common useful key commands for most web browsers, and they also work in many parts of Thunderbird such as in the message view and compose windows.
