Eye sight is getting worse, and I know that he *general font size* on the monitor can be increased, (Windows 7 ultimate), but could it be done on the FF browser only ??

Chosen solution

The Firefox Page Zoom feature does a domain by domain level of saving the users preferred zoom level settings, there is no default Page Zoom level setting in Firefox, as with some other browsers.

Try the Default FullZoom Level extension and set a default zoom level:

Or try the NoSquint extension:

Thank you. I know there is a way in Windows 7 to enlarge what you see, but that is a *global* command, plus it is not an infinite step enlargement, but a 3 step one only. I will try the suggestions you mentioned, but I seem to remember that here was a command to do it when inside FF.

Thanks anyway.

  • Problem* solved !!

What I finally did after downloading the suggestions given above. When on a certain website, I press [Ctrl] and then [+] . For some reason or another, the next time I am on that same site, the text stays at the larger font.

I can read without squinting again !!

Thanks to those who have helped me.
