Control your browser font sizes
As some of us get older, our eyes aren’t what they used to be and we need larger font sizes in our browsers. Also, the newer displays have high resolutions that make fonts look smaller and harder to read. The common browsers like Internet Explorer (IE) and Firefox have settings that provide for permanently increasing font size.
I have previously discussed the accessibility settings in IE.
Firefox has similar settings. Go to Tools-Options-Content (figure below).
Click the “Advanced” button and the dialog box shown below will open. Note that you can configure the font family as well as the size.
If you are only concerned with temporarily changing the font size, both browsers have the same simple procedures. Hold down the “Control” key and press the “+” key until you obtain the desired size. You can also use the “-” key to reduce sizes. If you have a scroll mouse, hold down the “Control” key and use the scroll function to either increase or decrease font size.
