The Gmail screen has very small text. It is barely legible. All other screens (Google apps and nother sites) are fine
Running Firefox 17.0 under Windows 7. The text size on the GMail screens is so small as to be almost illegible. Other Google apps and other sites in general on Firefox are fine. Gmail on Internet Explorer is also fine. How can I increase the text size on the Gmail screens. Using the Firefox Options for text font and size has no effect.

Have you tried Firefox's zoom feature? Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages You can "zoom" all sites using this add-on: NoSquint. After setting your global zoom level, you can still fine-tune the zoom on individual sites. After installing NoSquint, click the % on the Add-on Bar to call up site preferences, then click the Global Settings button, then the Zooming tab.
If you don't have the Add-on Bar displayed, you can right-click the new tab button ("+") or a blank area of the tab bar to the right of it and choose Add-on Bar from the shortcut menu.
You can experiment with sizes larger than 125%, but I wouldn't go much higher than 150% unless you have a large high-resolution monitor.
If there are particular sites that still present a problem, feel free to post their URLs.
You can find more information about the zoom features Firefox offers in these articles:
Text zoom - For zooming text only
Page zoom - For zooming the whole page (including images etc.)
