How to Get Websites to Use Specified Minimum Font Size?

I've set the minimum font size, under about:preferences > content > advanced to 18 pts, but some web sites still have tiny text, and don't have my preferred font. It hurts my eyes to try to read these websites.

Reader view isn't available on one of these sites.

Zooming isn't really practical, because then the site's wider than the window.

P.S. Finally figured out that there are separate settings for different scripts. Duh!

You may have zoomed web page(s) by accident. Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

  • View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl/Command+0 (zero))

You can look at the Default FullZoom Level or NoSquint extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.
