How to adjust and save display settings please?

Hello

The 'new' Thunderbird installed itself on my PC yesterday BUT the list of messages has become hard to read as a result. I can't quite tell why this is - it might be the typeface has changed or the font size has decreased by default. The whole page seems less clear. This must be a universal change as I noticed it on my business account on a different PC as well.

I tried to resolve it myself, I went into 'settings' and altered the typeface & size but couldn't see what I needed to do to 'save' my changes.

Can you tell me please how to 'save' the changes I tried? OR How I can go back to the previous appearance?

I'm sorry I can't show how it looked before to show a proper comparison or explain the difference in more detail but it IS different.

Thank you for any advice you can offer.

Try view>Fontsize to change the size of message list. The fonts in settings>general are saved everytime you make changes.
