I find that the font is to small to read even with my glasses on. I have tried the advanced font and color settings you have suggested,i did not work for me. I want to know how to fix the problem where i can read the font in a comfortable manner without straining my eyes. I have installed the Mozilla internet browser on a older version of xp laptop. Thank you.

You can set the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref on the about:config page to 1.0 or on Windows 8 to 1.25 and if necessary adjust layout.css.devPixelsPerPx starting from 1.0 in 0.1 or 0.05 steps (1.1 or 0.9) to make icons show correctly.

Use an extension to adjust the text size in the user interface and the page zoom in the browser window.

You can look at this extension to adjust the font size for the user interface.

You can look at the Default FullZoom Level or NoScript extension if web pages need to be adjusted after changing layout.css.devPixelsPerPx.
