You can use the NoSquint extension to set font sizes (text/page zoom) and text colors on web pages.
Maybe that extension works better.

• NoSquint - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2592

Hello again. I am using " no squint and it is helpfull up to a point. Fonts and colours fine but the other problem of not displaying correctly no! If you have used this page?!. I only have displayed " Post a reply"at the top followed by a large black area with a yellow border wich i have guessed its the reply area. The rest of the page is blank, exept for (tortunatly this time) Post reply in white, nothing else till the Firefox Features at the base. Internet explorer is even worse and wont even display its own Mail correctly. help still apreciated .thanks friends Neil

Buttons and other elements that use background images are usually a big problem if you want to use high contrast or other accessibility settings. This forum site could use a CSS stylesheet with better accessibility in regard to text colors and contrast. I've placed a border around the text area to make it more distinct with code in userContent.css. You can use the Stylish extension as well for such modifications. For site that you visit frequently it pays off to spend some time to do such CSS tweaks.

TEXTAREA { width:100%!important; height:auto!important; color:#000!important; font-family:monospace!important; border:1px solid #888!important; }

Thanks again COR-EL I am in uncharted water! My computer skills are self taught ( better on an Abacus at my age) Ihave seen the term style sheet on Internet Explorer. but know nothing about their use, or what they are. now starts a new learning curve!
