The font size of the bookmark sidebar and the toolbars is bigger than that of the web pages. I have tried to changing layout.css.devPixelsPerPx, but if I set it to small, then the web pages are unreadable, and I have to adjust them individually. If I set it so the web pages are the right size, then the sidebar is too big. Have not been able to find how to adjust them independently. Is there a way? Thanks to anybody who can help.

Firefox 42.0 Windows 7 64 bit, screen set at 150 % (My eyesight is bad).

Try to set layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 1.0 (default is -1) on the about:config page. If necessary adjust its value in 0.1 or 0.05 steps (1.1 or 0.9) until icons or text looks right.

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