I do not know how to find the chart of font colors and controls for making type faces bolder in Firefox. Many of the items on search pages come out very faint (like a default setting). I would like to know how to make the faint font faces (like on this page and others) blacker and bolder -- and to be able to save that changed type face as my own personal default so that every time I turn on my machine the Firefox opens defaulting to the bolder and brighter type face. (If this is not a Firefox issue -- but maybe a Microsoft Windows operating system issue, this could be a harder-than-necessary resolution.) Thank you for considering this isue.
