I have read all the articles and they don't seem to apply. My Mac OS is version 10.12.6. Is there a fix for larger display fonts in the panes? It's so small that I can't read it.

Chosen solution

There is a fixed version of Theme Font & Size Changer without the 90-day timeout:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/theme-font-size-changer-fixed/

Remove the non-fixed add-on and then drag the Download Now button on the above page and drop it onto Tools/Add-ons/Extensions in TB.

Any other suggestions for solving the size problem of the extremely small size?

You can't make any of those three work for you? The Config Editor is about the easiest.

Zenos: I am using Mac OS10.12.6 and I have located my profile in Thunderbird 52.7.0 (64bit). In that Thunderbird profile folder I have created the folder "chrome". I have attempted to create the "userChrome.css". PROBLEM- I can not find a program to create the file and to cut and paste the text (that you illustrated) into it. How is this done? I am relatively Mac computer literate, but not too code literate. Please assist again. I appreciate your time in this.

I am afraid that I am macos-illiterate.

The TextEdit program looks as if it can do this, but I have seen postings to this forum from users complaining that it won't let them save a plain text file.

This article appears to explain how to do this.

Other than that, atom looks like a very capable (and possibly over capable) editor.
