I need to make tab icons bigger, for my aging vision, please
I had firefox set via some advice I got earlier (which alas I did not write down)(. Then I exited and when I came back to firefox, the tabs were again minuscule....

You can try other Density settings in Customize mode (Density: Touch is largest).
You can set layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 1.0 (default is -1) on the about:config page. Adjust its value in 0.1 or 0.05 steps (1.1 or 0.9) until icons or text looks right.
You can look at Zoom Page WE to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

I would advise using control + mouse wheel to increase the magnification of your browser.
Thank you. The CTL + mousewheel has helped a lot with the content *inside* pages. But what I need is to correct the sizes on the icons and text on the firefox tabs *outside* of pages. I am not sure what those are called.

Thank you. This layout.css.devPixelsPerPx ad adjustment works!
The font on my tabs in Firefox need to be bold to see well. I've used the suggestions for adjusting density and the layout, but visibility, even on my large monitor is not what I'd like for these tired old eyes. I need to be able to bold the text in the tabs.
