I started using Firefox with my new computer two months ago. The font size in my webmail (Frontier--affiliated with Yahoo) was very small and just got smaller a few days ago. It is LESS than 8 -- it looks like legal notices type in the newspaper --barely readable. I have Windows 7 display setting at 120% but changing this makes NO difference in the email lists. The font is still a "normal", readable size in IE but I much prefer Firefox! I have done a live chat with Frontier support and they insist nothing has changed in the webmail program.

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

Nothing happens when I Reset Zoom under View. The print in my gmail is still too small to read without squinting.

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