How do you increase the font on firefox so you can actually see it??????

How do you increase the font on firefox so you can actually see it??????

Chosen solution

What is the problem, is it with the Use Interface, ie the menus and tab bars etc that firefox presents you with (And if so do you have problems with other Windows 7 applications and programs that you open ).

Or is it with the content of the webpage, such as the content of these messages we are posting now.

If it is just the web page content the zoom setting can be adjusted, and firefox remembers that on a per site basis. Try pressing the keyboard Control key an holding that down while pressing the Plus key to make it bigger or the Minus to zoomout.

It is possibleto change preferences for the UI and to use addons to configure zooming more selectivly but initially try the zoom settings

Please post back with how you get on.

Theme Font & Size Changer might work with firefox under windows, but it doesn't work with ubuntu at all. not at all.

so in ubuntu, you can change the font size for Application, Document, Desktop, Window title, and Fixed width.

but no matter what, using firefox's theme font or not, the content font size will still be 8 point.

this is a known issue.

hamazuji,

If you have a problem it may be better to start your own thread, by asking your own question. I am using Ubuntu at the moment and may easily change the size of the text in these posts, or the size of the text in the menu etc UI items,without changing from a standard theme. (And I have just done that to confirm it works)

(see now /questions/918449 )
