I use Firefox as my browser. I did some action (which I don't remember or understand) which changed my settings such that after a google search, the results are displayed in extremely tiny print.

Webpages display in "normal/default" readable size after clicking on a page link, or entering a link directly into firefox browser.

How can I change my firefox display settings to give a default print display, when I need to show my google search results? Thanks, D.B.

Open that web page, then try this;

Your zoom controls.

<Control> + (plus) enlarge <Control> - (minus) reduce <Control> 0 (zero) restore

Security Issue: Update your Flash Player Version 19.0.0.226

Note: Windows users should download the ‘’’active_x’’’ for “Internet Explorer,” and the ‘’’plugin’’’ for “Plugin-based browsers” (like Firefox).

Note: Edge on Win10 does not use ActiveX version but its own Flash.
