Why is the font size so small it is unreadable? Zooming does not help.

A few updates back something was done to the font size of webpages. When the font size is not set to a fixed value, it becomes very small. For instance on buttons. It makes the websites unreadable. When I open the same website with another browser I do not have this problem.

Zooming is not an option because that applies to the entire website. Not just the texts that are very small. And I have to zoom it so much to be able to read the text, that the website is scrolled way out of focus.

Very annoying.

I have always preferred firefox as browser, but since I simply cannot read the websites, I have to use other browsers.

I am not the only person with bad eyesight, so this must be a common problem.

Kind regards, Saskia

I figured out how to set the default font size. Not easy to find. And I do hope I do not have to set it again when some update messes things up again.

Kind regards, Saskia

HI, glad you figured it out. I bad shutdown or a crash can change those things. Please update to version 61 from Help --> About read the What's New on the little pop-up as some things have changed and a new Home added for New Tab, though can still access it from New Tab page also. New stuff like your theme is extended to other areas. Enjoy.

Please mark your answer as the solution so others can find it. Thank you.
