I think that is quite specific. I cannot read a lot of web articles because the font is too small. How do I make it bigger?

Have you tried Firefox's zoom feature? How do I use Zoom? | How to | Firefox Help

If you find you have to "zoom" most sites, you can set a new standard (default) zoom level for 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.
