I am a 74 y.o. not very computer literate. Eyesight is failing with age,must be lots of other Firefox users in this same boat. Bookmarks menu does not resize according to page font size. Keeping in mind that I am a Dinosaur and do NOT understand P.C. Tech speak. I really need detailed easy to understand directions on how to resize the bookmarks menu.

Maybe this would be a good upgrade for Firefox so all of us elders could use Firefox more easily.

I hope this is possible to do. If this is not an easy fix I at least want to thank you all for helping to make Firefox a very good browser.

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 to enlarge or 0.9 to reduce) until icons or text looks right. Make sure not to use values too large or too small.

  • modifying layout.css.devPixelsPerPx affects user interface and webpages (global zoom)

Firefox has a Zoom section in Options/Preferences to set the default zoom level for webpages.

  • Options/Preferences -> General -> Language and Appearance -> Zoom

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can click the button to "Accept the Risk and Continue".
