After the update, the next screen showed all the letters in smaller font, with fewer pixels. All the screens are like that now and I found nothing in the Firefox help contents. This is a problem because I have vision difficulty. So, how can I increase the font size to what it was before? My screen is about 20 inches wide.

   Also, any chance I can change all the font to Arial instead of Times New Roman?

Hi shbuzz2001,

Have you tried increasing the zoom amount by hitting CTRL and + a few times? This article will show you how to use Zoom.

You might also want to check out the Knowledge Base article on Accessibility features in Firefox - Make Firefox and web content work for all users. It discusses default fonts and other options that might be of interest to you.

Hopefully this helps!
