How do I adjust my font setting on Firefox? The changes I made show up only on Internet Explorer

When I'm using Firefox the print on the screen seems very small. When I went to the Start menu to set the font size larger, the change shows up only when I use Internet Explorer, not with Firefox.

Hi Middletonian,

You can try using Zoom. This will increase/decrease the size of everything on the page. You can try hitting CTRL and + a few times to try it out. CTRL and 0 will return it to normal size.

If that isn't what you are looking for you, you might want to look into some of the Accessibility features in Firefox - Make Firefox and web content work for all users options. There is lots of good information in that article.

Hopefully this helps!

Thanks, Matt. I will give it a try.

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