My font on the facebook page has suddenly gotten very SMALL. In the past when this happened in Firefox, I simply went up to the bar and clicked on VIEW and then ZOOMED in or out. NOW there are NONE of the old wanted and loved tabs at the top of the new horrible page. WHERE is the VIEW tab or the ZOOM in and ZOOM out tab??

Usually you have either the orange Firefox button or the classic menu bar, but not both at the same time.

You should be able to switch back and forth this way:

If the classic menu bar is not displayed, tap the Alt key to display it and then use

View > Toolbars > Menu Bar

to make it persistent. It should replace the orange Firefox button. To switch back, uncheck

View > Toolbars > Menu Bar

Does that work??

Also, you can zoom by holding the Ctrl key and scrolling your mouse wheel. This is a finder adjustment, but can be harder to control.

o.m.g THANKS! It was that simple... lol. I tried everything I could think of. As sooon as I hit alt, it changed and then I made the bar permanent. I don't know why my font jumps back and forth now and then from larger to smaller, but I suspect it is my computer and not the browser. Thanks again, Ron H
