I have grown old with Thunderbird and find reading the folder names, menu titles and the summary list of emails quite difficult nowadays. I can Zoom the size of an individual email which is good but the rest of the screen does not change size. Changing zoom to many levels in Firefox is so easy but I can only find the Zoom in/out and zoom text in a message option in Thunderbird. This Zoom does not alter the folder names, email summary list or the menu titles.

I share my computer with someone who has perfect vision but they use Gmail so a permanent fix for Thunderbird will not be a problem for them if the Firefox default page size option is available or made available for Thunderbird.

Thunderbird version: 68.7.0 (32-bit)

Try the method of adjusting a Config. editor preference to zoom the menus and message lists:

Thank you. That works a treat at 1.2 setting.

This solution worked for me. Edit/Preferences/Advanced/General/Config. editor, right-click the preference layout.css.devPixelsPerPx, Modify, and enter a value of 1.20 or 1.25.
