Bookmark icons and fonts are too small

more options

The bookmarks icons and fonts are too small for my older eyes on my new Ubuntu computer. They are bigger on my older Ubuntu computer. I have tried to find out how to enlarge them without sussex.

I am aware of the Zoom feature for a webpage itself, I am not asking about that. I simply want to have my bookmark toolbar FONTS and ICONS larger.

This has been frustrating. Perhaps including an EASY way to do this for future updates, or an app suggestion that would solve the problem. Thanks for your consideration and (hopefully) help.

Chosen solution

Type about:config into the search/URL bar.

That will bring up a warning which you'll have to acknowledge.

On the next screen there's a search box at the top. Type or paste layout.css.devPixelsPerPx into it. That will then show up underneath with '-1.0' next to it. Double-click the '-1.0' and change it to 1.2, without the '-.' Either press Return or click the tick that has appeared at the end of the line. If that isn't big enough try 1.25 or 1.3 but DO NOT enter a big value — 2 is huge.

This will also increase the size of web-content so if that's now too big you can reduce it with the Zoom you've already alluded to.

I completely agree that this should be available as a 'normal' setting.
