Trouble reading my AOL e-mail page.

I use Firefox to access my AOL and Verizon accounts. Approx 2 months ago, after an upgrade from an earlier version of Firefox to the current version, I began to experience issues with accessing my AOL e-mail page. The page displays in a very tiny, almost impossible to read, font size. I cannot locate anyway to correct this and make the page display in the normal size as it did previously. Accessing the same page thru IE produces normal results, so I am led to believe that it is not an AOL issue.

All other pages, websites, etc, display in normal sizes, both on AOL and Verizon.

Anyone have any ideas, thoughts or suggestions on this?

Have you tried Firefox's zoom feature? This will help increase the size of web pages, which you may have inadvertently decreased. (Firefox remembers that setting for future visits.)

  • To make things bigger, press Ctrl and &#43 at the same time.
  • To make things smaller, press Ctrl and - at the same time.
  • To reset the size back to normal, press Ctrl and 0 at the same time.

You can also use the NoSquint. add-on to change the default zoom level for all websites at once. After setting your global zoom level, you can still fine-tune the zoom on individual sites.

Using NoSquint:

  1. After installing NoSquint, make sure you have the Add-on Bar displayed:
    • 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.
  2. Click the % on the Add-on Bar to call up site preferences, then click the Global Settings button, then the Zooming tab.
    • You can experiment with sizes larger than 125%, but it's not recommended that you go 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.
