Hello, After the last update of Firefox (Quantum?) the colour of the tab bar have been changed into rather dark blue , as are the names of the tabs themselves . Also the tabs seem to be smaller then before. Because of these changes I can't read the names of the tabs any more. How can I change these features?

Regards René

You can also try different theme and density settings in the customize mode window.

Global Zoom Factor

This will enlarge both the toolbar area and the content area:

about:config / search for: pix

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Double-click . . . layout.css.devPixelsPerPx

The default is -1.0 . . . -1 is a special flag that means "whatever the OS uses"

"Do not go below 1.0, because it may become too tiny to edit" . . . this must mean like from .01 to .99

Change it to 1.25, which corresponds to 125% font size in Windows display settings

Too small? Try 1.5

If you are on Mac and use a Retina display, anything below 2.0 may be smaller than what you started with, so start with 2.0.

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:

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%

Hi  !

As for the color - you can easily change that :

3-bar menu (or 'Tools') => Add-ons => Themes and choose 'Light'.

As for the width of tabs :

Type in the address bar about:config (press Enter) (promise to be careful, if asked)

Type in the search bar and look for the preference :

browser.tabs.tabMinWidth

and change its value to 90 (to begin with - you can set it to a higher value if it's still too small for you).

After you've changed the value, close and restart Firefox, in order for the change to take effect.

'Hope that makes it better for you  !

Edit :

I just noticed that, while I was typing my reply, 'sludge7051-x' posted one as well.
