The current font that Thunderbird is using is too small for me. I tried increasing every font size in the settings-general section, but nothing changed. I tried using ctrl++ but that does nothing. I also went to View->Zoom and all of the zoom functions are greyed out and non-functional. Any ideas?

Thunderbird 91.13.1 and updated to 102.3.0 64 bit version. No change in behavior after update.

Windows 10 ver 21H2 Build 19044.2006

Try View>Font Size to see if that corrects it.

This does work, for changing the font size, so that helps, thank you.

But none of the other zoom or font size changes in settings work. Is this a bug?

I can't say, since zoom works for me. But I'm glad the font size is working for you,
