Hello "It Takes a Community", I'm new to Mozilla Firefox, which seems more like a climbing wall than a learning curve. But I like it much better than the Google start page. * I'm using a Toshiba laptop and a Windows 7 system. * Mozilla Firefox Start Page has a Google Search box in the middle of the page. The font in and around the box looks like a 4. Whatever it is, I can't easily see the words. * Clicked the Tools drop-down, clicked on Options, clicked on Content, changed the font to 12, and clicked OK. The font did not change on the start page. * I went into the Advanced option and un-clicked the box to allow websites to use their own fonts, but that didn't help at all. * Then, looked all over the Google support site, but I couldn't find a solution. Maybe using the word "font" in my search is my problem!!! I've been looking for a solution for well over an hour. Please help! If this keeps going on, I'm going to need an anti-depressant! Best regards, and thanks for any suggestions. Gael Reedy irishstorm@frontier.com
