In web pages, or in the menus and toolbars?

In web pages, you can use the zoom feature. More information: Page Zoom | How to | Firefox Help.

If you have the same problem on most sites and find you have to keep zooming them, you can zoom all sites using this add-on: NoSquint. After setting your Global zoom level, you can still fine-tune the zoom on individual sites.

After installing NoSquint, click the % on the Add-on Bar to call up site preferences, then click the Global Settings button, then the Zooming tab.

If you don't have the Add-on Bar displayed, you can right-click the new tab button ("+") or a blank area of the tab bar to the right of it and choose Add-on Bar from the shortcut menu.

You can experiment with sizes larger than 125%, but I wouldn't go much higher than 150% unless you have a large high-resolution monitor.

If there are particular sites that still present a problem, feel free to post their URLs.

In menus and toolbars, try this add-on to change the font size: Theme Font & Size Changer :: Add-ons for Firefox.

Does that fix it?
