Hi journie, could you try adjusting Firefox's global scaling factor? By global, I mean that it applies both to the toolbar area (user interface) and to web page content. Here's how you do it:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button accepting the risk.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste pix and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click layout.css.devPixelsPerPx and change its value to 1.5 and click OK, which corresponds to 150% font size in Windows display settings. The toolbar area should enlarge after a few moments.
Too big or too small?
- For text a little bit smaller, try 1.25 and see whether that suits you better.
- For text a little bit larger, try 2.0 and see whether that suits you better.
Important: Do not go below 1.0 because it may become too tiny to edit.
Websites Too Big?
You can counteract the global zoom with an extension that allows you to reduce zoom on all pages as you open them. You can still fine-tune the zoom level on sites, but this will normalize them.
For example:
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/zoom-page-we/
It's a little difficult to find its global default setting for websites, but you can counteract the global setting, for example:
- Global setting 1.25 + Zoom Page default 80% => pages at 100%
- Global setting 1.5 + Zoom Page default 75% => pages at 100%
- Global setting 2.0 + Zoom Page default 50% => pages at 100%
I'm embedding an old screenshot, I don't know if this is still where you set the percentage.
