I am visually impaired. The new Firefox update seems to have lightened and decreased the font size in the toolbar and drop down menu, not that it was great before. The Theme Font and Size Changer extension is no longer supported; all relevant posted answers in Support have been archived. Web pages can still be enlarged by percentages; why can't the entire page match? This would help wide screen users, too. There must be a way to enlarge the font and make other changes to the toolbar and menu box using this new version of Firefox. Otherwise I'm stuck with holding the screen literally six inches from my face decreasing my speed and efficiency. Please help.

In the latest update (89.0) the size of the font in drop-down menus has increased. When I go to my book marks the number that show on the screen has decreased by 28% which means a lot more scrolling. The original font size was very read able so why change. The question is, how can I reset the font size back to the original size? Geoff

My browser opens new links in new tabs. I want them to open new links in the same tab.

Others inquire about the same issue get a response saying:;

"Did you try it? Some sites add a target="_blank" attribute to links. Links with these attributes are supposed to open in a new window when left clicked. However, Firefox by default opens these links in a new tab in the current window. By setting browser.link.open_newwindow to 1, these links will instead open in the current tab/window."

I need step-by-step help understanding what I need to do to set the browser are suggested in the above response.

How to restore many tabs from the session before the last session?

Windows 10, Firefox 89.0

If there is more than one window open: Window A has many tabs; Window B has one tab; then when I close Firefox, the other window remains open. If window A is closed first, then closing window B means that firefox will restore the tabs of window B because it was the previous session.

How can I recover the many tabs from Window A?

Can I retrieve a list from history and reopen many at once?

Can I reload the appropriate "previous.jsonlz4" which is the next previous file?

Is there a reliable add-on that can remember open tabs?
