Hi seasaltseasalt,

Have you tried using Zoom? This will increase/decrease the size of everything on the page including images. That might be perfect for what you are trying to do.

Hopefully this helps!

Hello Matt_G thankyou for a GREAT GREAT thought.

I tried to follow what was on the link... but I think it may only apply to your iphone... or handheld device... as the step in the link says...

link you gave me: "using Zoom? " [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/zoom-in-and-out?s=how+do+i+use+zoom&...]

showing only handheld device - see screenshot on right with option "Reformat text on zoom"

ON DESKTOP ... I dont see that option at all The help page regarding zoom, and showing screens I see is here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Content%20panel?as=u

I found under Universal Access, for MacBook, I could turn on ZOOM. so allows zoom using touchpad on this computer. But it still not working on web page....

see 3rd screenshot pls

any suggestions?

You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.
