Text in FF is so small I'm unable to read it

I occasionally need to refresh FF because I overload my profile. This time there seems to be nothing I can do to make the text large enough to read. In the past I've used extensions to assist but this time nothing seems to work. I need to get within 12 " to read anything. The bookmarks, any context menu, any toolbar items, tabs, and just about anything else is unreadable if it is a FF function. I can increase font size for web sites etc., but not for FF itself. Any help will be appreciated.

I see that you use this Add-on to achieve the stated functionality, Make Address Bar Font Size Bigger

If this is giving you issues then try disabling it and trying some other equivalent Add-on. A quick search gave me this, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/theme-font-size-changer/

I usually use this but this time it's not working as it has in the past. I will reinstall it

Note that CTR makes changes to some elements on the Navigation Toolbar and this changes their ID, so other extensions might get broken that rely on the original ID of elements.

Maybe ask the CR developer to add this feature to his extension (there are already a lot of location settings).

I haven't a clue what you are talking about.

After reinstalling, things are much better. Thanx for the heads up.
