After the last update my text became very small in all the games, FB and everything else I use via the Internet, is this a known problem or is there something I can do about it

Everything is in small print and a different text, I have not done anything different to my computer so I assume that after the last update things have changed but it is not very satisfactory as I have to zoom on every page as there is no 'set text size' now available to me, it is virtually impossible to read the FB page or the Zynga games.

Hi Hoddy,

I'd try starting Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide and the Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems article as well.

You might want to look into some of the Accessibility features in Firefox - Make Firefox and web content work for all users options. There is lots of good information in that article.

Hopefully this helps!

You can try this:

  1. Open the Properties of the Firefox desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties)
  2. Go to the Compatibilities tab
  3. Put a mark before "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings"

You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.
