well, jscher2000, i think the new chrome folder

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\z7hau5ip.default\chrome\userContent.css

with just these 3 lines: h1 {font-size:1.25em !important;} h2 {font-size:1.17em !important;} h3 {font-size:1.1em !important;}

is having an effect on the display fonts.

there are other elements with too-large font sizes which seem to be designated as table elements?

so i am going to try adding more lines to the userContent.css file in the same form as the h1 h2 h3 lines you suggested to make the web pages much more readable, and more like professional print pages rather than jangly advertising layouts.

i guess i'll close this topic now by clicking the "question solved" button.

thanks again for sticking with this till it was solved.
